Wasn`t Born To Follow — текст песни (Byrds, The)

Written by Carol King and Gerry Goffin

Oh I`d rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent`s glowing and
Run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And Wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no-one knows the names of
And when it`s time I`ll go and wait
Beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your form reflected
In it`s clear and jeweled waters
And if you think I`m ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another
I will watch her dive beneath
The white cascading waters
She may beg she may plead
She may argue with her logic
And then mention all the things I`ll lose
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn`t born to follow
