Songs Lyrics 6

No Roots (Alice Merton)

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them

When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them

'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I build a home and wait for someone to tear it down

Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running

'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road

A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I like standing still, boy, that's just a wishful plan

Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land

But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game

It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same

But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road

A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I like digging holes

Hiding things inside them

When I grow old

I won't forget to find them

I like digging holes

Hiding things inside them

When I grow old

I won't forget to find them

I've got no roots

No roots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots

No!
