Lyrics

VERSE 1

I WISH I COULD CONVINCE MYSELF
TO COMPROMISE ANS BARTER WELL
WITH THESE BANKS OF REASON
THAT WEIGH IN MY HEAD.

THROUGH MANY HOURS OF NEEDLESS TEARS
I FOUGHT WITH FATE BUT COULD NOT HEAR
A VOICE THAT KEPT WHISPERING
IN A WORLD THAT WAS DEAD.

SEVERAL YEARS BETWEEN OUR AGE
I LOVED HER WILD AND BLIND
cOULDN'T STOP THE BEATING HANDS OF TIME

SHE SAID
LEAVE IT TO ME, i WILL BE FREE IN ANOTHER LAND

CHORUS

WHERE YOUNG BOYS RUN WILD AND DON'T HIDE IN RUE
OF DAYS GONE BY, OF LOVE THEY ONCE KNEW.

VERSE 2

EVEN THOUGH I'M FEELING COLD AND WEAK
I MUST GET BACK UPON MY FEET
AND WALK THROUGH THIS COUNTRY
OF AGELESS SELF DOUBT.

AND EVERY NIGHT TO GOD I PRAY
TO WATCH HER AS SHE FADES AWAY
I HOPE THAT SHE FINDS LOVE
I HOPE THINGS WORK OUT.

NOW MAN MAY CONQUER LAND AND SEA
AND MAN MAY PLAY THE PART
BUT NEVER BE THE MASTER OF HIS HEART

SHE SAID:

LEAVE IT TO ME, I WILL BE FREE IN ANOTHER LAND.

CHORUS
