lyrics

# 1
FREE AS THE WIND
YOU LOOKED AS IF YOU WERE ABOUT TO FLY
YOU LIT UP A CIGARETTE
BUT LET IT BURN UNTIL IT DIED
NOTHING BELONGED TO YOU
YET THE WORLD AROUND US
WAS YOURS TO PAINT
AND YOU BROUGHT IT TO LIFE
YOU STOLE MY HEART
AND THEN YOU SAID GOODBYE

# 2
AND YOU FROM THE EAST
COULD IT HAVE BEEN TURKEY OR GREECE
IT SEEMED YOU CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
YET BEFORE LONG WE LAY IN BED
OUR BODIES AS ONE
FOREVER CAUGHT IN THEIR EMBRACE
I LOVED YOU SO
UNTIL THE END OF DAYS
WHEN FOREVER LEFT
YOU SIMPLY WALKED AWAY

WHERE ARE YOU GODDESSES
OF THE INFINITE WORLD
OF THE ETERNAL NOW
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR WAY
OR HAVE YOU HELD YOUR GROUNDS
AGAINST THE SAVAGE KIND
DID YOU GUIDE THE CHILDREN THROUGH THE MAZE
NUDGE THEM ONWARD BEYOND THE HAZE
OR DID THE MIDDLE MAN COLLECT
TO LEAVE YOU BEREFT OF THE GAINS?

# 3
LIZZY THE QUEEN
YOU WALKED THE FINE LINE BETWEEN LOVERS
NEVER LOSING A STEP
YOU KEPT ON DANCING TILL THE MORNING CAME
BY DAY YOU WERE ALL SUN
BY NIGHT THE MOON TOOK OVER
I FELL FOR YOU
LIKE A MOTH TO THE LIGHT
YOU LET ME IN
AND THEN YOU SHOWED ME OUT

# 4
YOU WERE BORN A FLOWER
YET NO BLOOM WAS A GIVEN
YOU WORE YOUR LEATHER WELL
YOU INKED YOUR SKIN
PREFERRED TO SHAVE YOUR HEAD
WE SAT ON THE STEPS
LOOKING DOWN THE ALLEY
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
WAS BETTER KEPT AT BAY
BUT FOR A TIME
IT SEEMED WE FLEW AWAY

WHERE ARE YOU GODDESSES
OF THE INFINITE WORLD
OF THE FOREVER NOW
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR WAY
OR HAVE YOU HELD YOUR GROUNDS
AGAINST THE SAVAGE KIND
DID YOU GUIDE THE CHILDREN THROUGH THE MAZE
NUDGE THEM ONWARD BEYOND THE HAZE
OR DID THE MIDDLE MAN COLLECT
TO LEAVE YOU BEREFT OF THE GAINS?
