The Man in the Wilderness - Natalie Merchant

The Man in the wilderness

He asked of me How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?

And I answered him, as I thought good

As many a ship sails in the wood

The Man in the wilderness

He asked me, Why

His hare could swim and his pig could fly?

And 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

Tell all the sands in the sea and I counted them well

And with the grain, well, not one more

I answered him, you go make sure

Said with the grain, well, not one more

I answered him, you go make sure

I answered him, you… you go make sure
