Lyrics
I've been running from her sight
Stealing softly through the night
If she can't see me, then I'm still free
I've been shrinking from her call
Never answering at all
If she can't hear me, then I'm still free
Once I'm in her power
I lose all my control
I'd sell my very soul without a thought
She's up there in her tower
I'm helpless on the ground
I simply can't be found; I can't be caught
I will cover up my scent
So she won't know where I went
If she can't sniff me out, then I'm still free
I can never be in touch
She can sense so very much
If she can't feel me, then I'm still free
First she will undress me
And lead me to her web
My strength will slowly ebb like a low, low tide
Then she will possess me
And call me for her own
A slave before her throne, nowhere to hide
She has pierced my inner core
Yet she still wants so much more
But I won't let her, 'cause I'm still free
She says love will set you free
But it's the opposite to me
If she can't love me, then I'm still free
For this love is like a curse
A strange changing for the worse
If she can't change me, then I'm still me
Her love becomes a virus,
Infects my very blood
Must nip it in the bud or slowly die
Can't let this sickness mire us
Down in thoughts I can't abide
I'm rotting deep inside, and that's the reason why
I've been running from her sight
Stealing softly through the night
If she can't see me, then I'm still free
If she can't hear me, then I'm still free
If she can't love me, then I'm still free
