Live alone and like it, free as the birds in the trees
High above the briars, 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 obligato, 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
