lyrics

Verse 1.
I will never climb that tree,
You see climbings not for me,
I'm the one who speaks in riddles and toungs,
And dreams of harmony.

Chorus.
A bird that can not fly,
A flower with no colour,
A fish that can not swim,
A different kind of clever.

Verse 2.
I will never walk in those tracks,
I can only go where the wind is at my back,
Maybe I'll sail across the sea,
If I can plot a course to where I need to be.

Chorus.
A rose that can not bloom,
A sick man with no fever,
A bird that jumped too soon,
A different kind of clever.

Mid.
I was a hunter with no bow,
One who had nothing to let go.

Chorus.
A puppet without strings,
A phoenix growing wings,
I wonder what this brings,
A different kind of clever.

A different kind of clever.
