lyrics

They set their store in what they sell
And they kneel to a lord who marks you well
And they call the moon and they call the sun
That gilded image they hung above everyone

But I don’t have to sell my stuff
To the whole world, no I don’t—-
I just have to sing this song
To this one girl, to this one girl

What moves you as truth must you tell?
And what speaks to your soul must you sell?
And what tears the heart and what troubles the mind
Is that the jewel you left far behind?

But I don’t have to sell my stuff
To the whole world, no I don’t—-
I just have to sing this song
To this one girl, to this one girl

'Cause I’m your desert prince on this desert isle
And here in the wind I’ll rule a while
Bear me a child--bear with my song--
We’ll raise him free, we’ll raise him true and strong

'Cause we don’t have to sell ourselves
To the whole world, no we don’t--
We just have to sing the song
To this one girl, to this one girl
