i’m a cork on the ocean
floating over the raging sea
how deep is the ocean?
how deep is the ocean?
i lost my way
hey hey hey

i’m a rock in a landslide
rolling over the mountainside
how deep is the valley?
how deep is the valley?
it kills my soul
hey hey hey

i’m a leaf on a windy day
pretty soon i’ll be blown away
how long will the wind blow?
how long will the wind blow?
ohhhh

until i die
until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die
these things i’ll be until i die

she in her wedding dress (dut da da da da da dut dut)
a vision of happiness (dut da da da da da dut dut)
and just to think (dut da da da da da dut dut)

feel the wind burn through my skin
the pain, the air is killing me
for years my limbs stretched to the sky
a nest for birds to sit and sing

but now my branches suffer
and my leaves don’t bear the glow
they did so long ago

one day i was full of life
my sap was rich and i was strong
from seed to tree i grew so tall
through wind and rain i could not fall

but now my branches suffer
and my leaves don’t offer
poetry to men of song

trees like me weren’t meant to live
if all this world can give
pollution and slow death

oh lord i lay me down
no life’s left to be found
there’s nothing left for me

trees like me weren’t meant to live
if all this earth can give
is pollution

trees like me weren’t meant to live
(oh lord i lay me down)
if all this earth can give
(my branches to the ground)
is pollution and slow death
(there’s nothing left for me)

oh lord i lay me down
my branches to the ground
there’s nothing left for me

when i see my baby
when i see my little girl
when i see my woman
i’m gonna tell her about the lonely hours i just spent
and say the thing we got going hope it never ends
well i’m gonna tell that little girl a thing or two

do it right baby
(do it right baby)
ahhh haaa
outta sight baby
ahhh-ha ha
do it right baby
(do it right baby)
ahhh haaa

when i see my baby
when i look in her pretty eyes
when i get with my darling baby
i say my heart will start to beat like a couple of drums
she’ll get my temperature to rise to ’bout a hundred and one

(yeah)
do it right baby
(do it right baby)
ahhh haaa
outta sight baby
ahhh-ha ha
do it right baby
(do it right baby)
ahhh haaa

a whole day away from your woman
a separation from your girl can really mess your mind
and can you dig this one thing
well it’s lucky i’m working from nine to five
i have to live with my doctors just to keep me alive
keep on tellin’ a thing or two

do it right baby
(do it right baby)
ahhh haaa
outta sight baby
ahhh-ha ha
do it right baby
(do it right baby)
ahhh haaa
