Patty Griffin - Free lyrics

rate me

I am no longer young, I'm an old man's daughter

We got caught with the sun going down

We spent most of our days adrift on the water

That's how I know my way around

And it's hard to be free

When freedom is just me

And the waves on the terrible sea

I could land with the rest of all the broken down birds

That's where I found my way home

With the rest of the faces on the face of the earth

Facing off with the great unknown

And all the tears that we cry

Is something gone wrong

Is somebody lost

The places long gone

Keep on moving, baby, keep on moving

The wave's coming over your knees

And it's hard to be free

See some things that I see

Be some things that I be

And come all the way, all the way, all the way home again
