From the recording Somethin' 'bout Tomorrow
Lyrics
Found a turtle shell on a beach one day and I had to think it queer
How a turtle could come to lose a thing so obviously dear
As I pondered this I realized much to my dismay
That I knew just how that turtle felt on the day you walked away
Saw a rabbit’s foot hanging on a pole in a booth at the county fair
And I wondered how that rabbit felt and if he had a foot to spare
And as I made my way back home alone I really think I knew
The way that poor ol’ rabbit felt on the day that I lost you
Like a ocean without a swell, like a flower without a smell
Like a wizard without a spell, yeah that’s me
Like a dog without a bone I’m gonna spend my life alone
Like a turtle without a shell yeah, that’s me
Saw a hotrod at an auto show with a foxtail flying high
And I bet that fox when he lost that thing had to sit right down and cry
Does he wander thru the forest now in a daze the way I do
Does he miss his long and fluffy tail as much as I miss you
Like a ocean without a swell, like a flower without a smell
Like a wizard without a spell, yeah, that’s me
Like a dog without a bone I’m gonna spend my life alone
Like a turtle without a shell yeah, that’s me
Like a hammer without a nail or a handle without a pail
Like a schooner without a sail, yeah that’s me
Like a traveler without a home I’m gonna live my life alone
Like a turtle without a shell, yeah that’s me
