Lyrics
What I thought I could dismiss
Tortured me like an expectant kiss
Hard enough for me to wait
And then you were running late
My life couldn?t have been much worse
My body shook with a violent curse
These feelings of which I never spoke
Came over me all at once
I had no idea what it would mean to me
To be in prison yet set free
To be with you for the rest of my days
A new life that?s a much better way
It?s a part of my life that?s over now
A no good friend who?s been shown the door
A welcome health and a new breath
A changed life; and no fear of death
I?ll never know why I was so lost
And I?ll never forget how much it cost
The kicking against the craw
But your love saved me from it all
I had no idea what it would mean to me
To be in prison yet set free
To be with you for the rest of my days
A new life that?s a much better way
