Natalie Merchant The Man In The Wilderness

Tekst piosenki

[Verse:]
The man in the wilderness asked of me
„How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?”
I answered him, as I thought good
As many a ship as sails in the wood
The man in the wilderness asked me why
His hen could swim and his pig could fly
I answered him as I thought best
„They were both born in a cuckoo’s nest.”
The man in the wilderness asked me to tell
All the sands in the sea and I counted them well
He said he with a grin, „And not one more?”
I answered him, „Now you go make sure.”
