Simply Wild
On a wild night
a wild wind
lifts a wild kite
a wild kite
takes a wild mouse
a wild mouse
cavorts a wild path
a wild path
leads a wild way
a wild way
trails in wild berries
wild berries
reflect a wild moon
a wild moon
lights a wild night
simply wild!
a wild wind
lifts a wild kite
a wild kite
takes a wild mouse
a wild mouse
cavorts a wild path
a wild path
leads a wild way
a wild way
trails in wild berries
wild berries
reflect a wild moon
a wild moon
lights a wild night
simply wild!
