Just because you see me standing here like this
Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to spring up
On all fours into the air
Just like a newborn lamb.
Or soaring high
Singing out so clear and free
In the sky that you can’t see me
Only hear me.
So don’t presume, don’t presume etc
Or diving from
The highest cliffs at Acapulco
Down to the ocean bed
To cavort in the green light
With the jewelled eyed ones.
So don’t presume, don’t presume
There could be so much more room
Don’t presume
Be so many different tunes
To dance to.
From my eyrie high in the Rocky Mountains
Over a spot of fresh raccoon
And a nice pot of tea
I can clearly see
Yes, it’s very plain to me
That it’s better not to
Haven’t got to…..
So don’t presume, don’t presume etc
