Steve Earle - Lonely are the Free lyrics

rate me

Lonely are the free

'Cause there ain't that many of them

They don't walk like you and me

They just tumble in the breeze

Lighter than a feather

All together, separately

That's how it's s'posed to be

No matter where they wander

From post to in between,

From here to over yonder,

There's no place for them to land

Lonely are the free

The silent are the strong

Not so much as a whisper

Tells you anything is wrong

You've known all along,

But you can't help but listen

And now the moment's gone.

It keeps you hanging on

Until the stillness signaling

The breaking of the dawn,

Is shattered by the sirens

Singing sacrificial songs

The silent are the strong.

That's all they used to see

A violent shadow passing 'cross

The sun so fleetingly

That if you have to ask you miss it

Anyway you see

Lonely are the free

Lonely are the free
