about

My good friend Michelle Steffes wrote a screenplay, a modern adaptation of Pinocchio. I read the script, and was so moved to write this song directly afterwards.

lyrics

Love is something that you make
Not something that you take
And that’s bringing you to tears

Love, like a drifter rollin’ on
It’s here and then it’s gone
And then lonesome’s got your years

You say he’s the one for you
But that’s not for you to choose

Can’t wake him up and make him up
Like just another one of your toys
So set him free or let him be
He just can’t be your wooden boy
Wooden Boy

Strings, you can tie them all around
anything to hold him down
You know that boy that's free to roam

Wings, you can clip them all away
Anything to make him stay
And keep that man from finding home
