No Roots- Alice Merton Lyrics
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!
