ruby boyd - of the wild things lyrics

on night in my room
a forest grew and grew
and grew until the ceiling hung with vines
and the walls became the world all around
then the ocean tumbled by
all i could see was sky
i ran away
took a boat that was built just for me
i sailed away
through the days weeks months over a year
far away from here

they said i was the wildest thing of all
now stop
though i’m the king of all the wild things
it’s lonely i want to be where someone loves me best of all
then from far across this world i smelled good things to eat
so i gave up being he king of the wild things
of the wild things

and they said
oh please don’t go you know we love you so
we’ll eat you up
i said no
and they roared their terrible roars
and they gnashed their terrible t__th
and they rolled their terrible eyes
and showed their terrible claws
but i just waved goodbye
and stepped back into my boat
and sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks
and all through a day
then suddenly i was in my own room again
where my supper was waiting for me
and it was still hot

- ruby boyd
