Freed

The ice is thin come on dive in
Underneath my lucid skin
The cold is lost, forgotten
Hours pass days pass time stands still
Light gets dark and darkness fills
My secret heart forbidden...
I think you worried for me then
The subtle ways that i'd give in but i know
You liked the show
Tied down to this bed of shame
You tried to move around the pain but oh
Your soul is anchored

The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
Offer what you can, i'll take all that i can get
Only a fool's here...

I don't like your tragic sighs
As if your god has passed you by well hey fool
That's your deception
Your angels speak with jilted tongues
The serpent's tale has come undone you have no
Strength to squander

The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
Offer what you can, i'll take all that i can get
Only a fool's here to stay
Only a fool's here to stay
Only a fool's here...

Well my time has come quickly,
I go lickety-splitly down to my old '55
As i pulled away slowly,
I was feeling so holy,
God knows,
I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with lady luck,
Freeways,
Cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And i lead the parade
Just a-wishing i'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, lord,
Let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.

And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning;
I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing,
And the lights all are flashing,
I'm on my way home from the place.

Well the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with lady luck,
Freeways,
Cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And i lead the parade
Just a-wishing i'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, lord,
Let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.

Well my time has come quickly,
I go lickety-splitly down to my old '55
As i pulled away slowly,
I was feeling so holy,
God knows,
I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with lady luck,
Freeways,
Cars and trucks,
Freeways,
Cars and trucks,
Freeways,
Cars and trucks ...

I looked into your eyes
They told me plenty
I already knew
You never felt a thing
So soon forgotten all that you do
In more than words i
Tried to tell you
The more i tried i failed

I would not let myself believe
That you might stray
And i would stand by you
No matter what they'd say, i would have thought i'd be with you
Until my dying day
Until my dying day

I used to think my life
Was often empty
A lonely space to fill
You hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
You made my world stand still
And in that stillness
There was a freedom
I never felt before

I would not let myself believe
That you might stray
And i would stand by you
No matter what they'd say, i would have thought i'd be with you
Until my dying day
Until my dying day

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where i can breathe
I believe there is a
Distance i have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And i'll defend it as long as i can be
Left here to linger in silence
If i choose to
Would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire...
But i love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...
I believe...

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And i'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If i choose to
Would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see i've got
To live my life the way i feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me...
I believe...

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And i'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If i choose to
Would you try to understand it

I would like to linger here in silence
If i choose to
Would you understand it
Would you try to understand...

I remember the nights i watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream
Well i was so scared and so in love then
And so lost in all of you that i had seen

But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires

But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sign
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined

Chorus
And i will oh i will not forget you
Nor will i ever let you go
I will oh i will not forget you

I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak
So silent you stole from my bed
To go back to the one who possesses your soul
And i back to the life that i dread.

So i ran like the wind to the water
Please don't leave me again i cried
And i threw bitter tears at the ocean
But all that came back was the tide...

Chorus
