Lyrics

Verse 1:
The lonely days and the lonely nights, seemed my way had no end in sight
Turned my back on the good and right, gone astray from the good fight
Built a prison out of my memories, took my heart to depths that no-one could see
Walls of stone and bars of steel, would crumble from the weight of such misery
My love had gone astray like the soul of a young runaway, yeah gone away
Taken by the ones from those yesterdays, deep-rooted sadness is the price I paid

Chorus:
I was drowning in a sea of misery
You reached in the waters and you pulled me free
You set me free

Verse 2:
Bright lights and living on high, became my escape, my full time alibi
Knowing that if I could just make it for a little while
I?d find a love to let me spread my arms and fly
I was drowning in a sea of misery, you reached in my heart and you pulled me free
Took a wretched man with no more sanity, your love and devotion have set me free

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Battles fought and lessons learned, went hand in hand with the sorrows I earned
Signs ignored, wrong directions I turned, left me with all of my bridges burned
I looked for comfort in the shadow of a memory
The pictures on the walls, silent ghosts wouldn?t let me be
Locked up my conscience and I threw away the key
The weight of the world had me on my knees

(Chorus)

Verse 4:
Swallowed pride, many chances missed, precious time for a priceless gift
Taking hold of a granted wish, to grasp a new love and a life to live
A welcome sight is the look in your eyes
A welcome night is to hold you tight
Every day gone by is like my own private paradise
Finding contentment, with you by my side

(Chorus X2)
You set me free (whispered)
