Wonder Boy Arthur Russell

I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing

The river was free of all ice
Except where the water froze
The dogs went down and drank once or twice
Water still drips from their nose

I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing

The poster was nailed to a tree
But somebody tore it down
Bits of paper nailed to a tree
That's all I found

I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing

My toes getting cold as they dip
Into the snow by my boot
The sky disappearing behind a twig
All the way down to the root

I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing
