I wonder off a little while
Am        D
expecting to be caught

Brighter mineral, illuminate

G        Em
I stepped in for a little while,
 Am        D
And learned a host of sins
G       Em
I wonder off a little while
Am       D
'cause you can never win

I wondered there for a little while
Am           D
There's secrets in the wind

It burns, it burns, nitwit brighter
