Lyrics

Live alone and like it Free as the birds in the trees High above the briers Live alone and like it Doing whatever you please When your heart desires Free to hang around or Fly at any old time No equivocation Most of all no guarantees That can be your motto Free of obligation Only the murmuring breeze As an obligation Live alone and like it Why is that such a crime? Free to call the tune, Free to say if you're Gonna work or play You can have the moon But you don't have to have It night and day Anyway, On your own with only You to concern yourself Doesn't mean you're lonely Just that you're free Live and alone and like it Don't come down from that tree. That's the answer for me That's the answer for me
