David Gray Lyrics

Album: A New Day at Midnight

Freedom Lyrics

Take your eyes off me

There’s nothing here to see

Just trying to keep my head together

As we make our vow 

Let us remember ho

There’s nothing good that lasts forever

Time out on the running boards

We’re running

Through a world that’s 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

Yea but there ain’t no way to reach you

Time out on the running boards

We’re running

Through a world that’s lost it’s meaning

Trying to find a way to love

This running 

Ain’t no kind of freedom

Of freedom 

It’s time to clean these boots

Fold up these parachutes

The word’s 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, freedom

(repeat x2)

Fasten on my mask

I’m bending to the task

I know this work is never finished

But if I close my eyes

I can still see you dancing 

laughing loud and undiminished
