Wink of an I

Lyrics by Howard Anshell

Don’t try to pin me down,

‘Cause I’ve been hung up in disguise;

I’ve been dreaming too much

And my time has passed me by!

If I wink out of sight, it’s ‘cause

I was just something in your eye!

I’m getting ready to move--

I’ve got to rise with the morning sun.

I found an exit, now I know

I’ve got to run!

Gonna leave my vibrations,

Then I’ve got to travel on.

I’ve been thinking

I’m kind of wasting my time away;

Every evening comes and it’s all been

The same day!

I’ve been stuck in the web—

It’s about time I slip away!

I’m getting set to depart,

I can feel it approaching near.

Got to make a new start,

But I just can’t make it here…

If you’ll just look around once,

Then I’m bound to disappear!

I’m a soul on fire,

I’m just the rainbow in your mind!

I’m a passing desire—

Read me in between the lines!

I’m a shooting star,

And a part of the

Natural design!

I’m getting ready to rise--

I’ve got to move with the morning sun!

Got a list of things to do,

But it’s just not going to get done!

I’m here for an instant,

Then when you look again,

I’m gone!
