Some of the lyrics are You could have been a gaint said the bonsai tree and Why do people change the things they love Apologies to all if this is on the DT - I did try! Part |

I used the words that a friend gave me - it is he whom is looking for these words. I have just copied and e-mailed them to him |

I just came in from an evening out listening to "Artisan" including Brian Bedford at the Willows in Arundel singing this very song (well, amongst others). Apparently, whenever he told his teenage daughter she wasn't going off into the big city from their little village he'd get "Dad, What's the use of wings....."
