Free
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
we could let this love be the fading sky
we could drift all night into the new sunrise
pass me a drink
or, maybe two
one for me and one for you
and we'll be
free, free
free, free
here comes
colder winds and the changing tides
we better drop them sails and get inside
when will the weather ever let us go
I guess we'll have to wait until the trade winds blow
and we'll be
free, free
free, free
there's nothing in between
what we are
what we see
there's nothing in between
what we are
what we see
what we are
we are just
on a life boat
sailing home
with our drunken hearts
and tired bones
well I just take one last look around
yeah, and everyplace feels like a familiar town
and now we're
free
free (dontcha wanna be)
free (from time to time a little)
free (hey now now)
free (I know, ya know ya)
free (feels so good to be)
free (mmmhmm)
free
