While It All Away

I think I'll while away an hour
Picking you the perfect flower
And set it sweetly in your hair

And then I'll while away the day
Thinking of words that I will say
And all the feelings I'll declare

And then I'll while away the week
Studying songs of the cacique
And at your window call their tune

But after June has passed on by
I think I'll while away July
Just howling your name at the moon

Some call me aimless, some they say I'm slow
Some wonder if I've anywhere to go
Some tell me time is money
Well they can count their pay
I'll take my day
And while it all away on you

And after summer's taken flight
I'll while away those winter nights
Building fires to keep you warm

And then when January's here
With you I'll while away the year
One resolution I have sworn

Some say I'm wandering, some they say I'm lost
Some say I'm free but wonder at what cost
Some trade their days for coinage
Well they can stack their dimes
I'll take my time
And while it all away on you
