Arthur Russell – Wonder Boy Lyrics

Im a wonder boy
I can do nothing

The river was free of all ice
Except where the water froze
The dogs went down and drank once or twice
Water still drips from their nose

Im a wonder boy
I can do nothing

The poster was nailed to a tree
But somebody tore it down
Bits of paper nailed to a tree
Thats all I found

Im a wonder boy
I can do nothing

My toes getting cold as they dip
Into the snow by my boot
The sky disappearing behind a twig
All the way down to the root

Im a wonder boy
I can do nothing
The forest was planted in rows
At least I think they are
But rows are straight as everyone knows
These rows dont extend too far

Im a wonder boy
I can do nothing
