DAVID GRAY LYRICS - Freedom

"Freedom"



Take your eyes off me

There's nothing here to see

Just trying to keep my head together

And as we make our vow

Let us remember how

There's nothing good that lasts forever



Time out on the running boards

We're running

Through a world that lost it's meaning

Trying to find a way to love

This running Ain't no kind of freedom



Feel the touch of grief

You stand in disbelief

Can steal the earth from right beneath you

And falling in so far

They know just where you are

Yeah but there ain't no way to reach you



Time out on the running boards

We're running

Through a world that lost it's meaning

Trying to find a way to love

This running

Ain't no kind of freedom

Of freedom

Yeah yeah



It's time to clean these boots

Fold up these parachutes

The words goodbye but I can't say it

The end is close at hand I think we understand

There ain't no use trying to delay it



Time out on the running boards

We're running

Through a world that lost it's meaning

Trying to find a way to love

This running

Ain't no kind of freedom

Freedom freedom



Time out on the running boards

We're running

Through a world that lost it's meaning

Trying to find a way to love

This running

Ain't no kind of freedom

Of freedom

Freedom



[Instrumental verse, repeat chorus]



Fasten on my mask

I'm bending to the task

I know this work is never finished

And if I close my eyes

I can still see you dancing Laughing loud and undiminished
