Lyrics Hootie & The Blowfish – Desert Mountain Showdown

Robinn’ Robin in the tree
Won’t you come down here and rescue me
Cause there’s someplace else I gotta see
And you can stand in for me for awhile

Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child

Love is gone but now I see
You’ve got to capture me to set me free

Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, «boy come and walk with me
There’s someplace I’ve got to see»
So we strolled along the mountain high

She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
I’d see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing

Lessons learned but now I see
You’ve got to capture me to set me free

I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream
