Free Lyrics by Train

Alive at Last

1998

[Verse 1]
Staring at the dark again
You left your silhouette upon my pillow, hey, hey
Right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light
Seems like I'm in the middle, hey, hey

[Verse 2]
Working for something that I can't touch
And sometimes can't even believe in, woah, woah
Cradled by the hands of fate
The faith that sometimes wraps around too tight, so tight

[Chorus]
They call me free
But I call me a fool, hey, hey
They call me free
But I call me a fool, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
Well I look back at April
But she won't look back at me, oh, no, no, no
So I pray in May for June to stay
But she just came to wash into the sea, away

[Chorus]
They call me free
But I call me a fool, hey, hey
They call me free
But I call me a fool
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Slipped down to Mexico, started messing with her yellow Afro
Slipped down behind the sheets, started talking about Pistol Pete
Well, slipped down to the African, started talking about what she can do
And here we are again, back where we started

[Verse 4]
Slipped down to the dark again
You left your silhouette on my pillow, yeah, yeah
Well I'm right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light
Seems like I'm in the, seems like I'm always in the middle

[Outro]
They call me free
They call me free
Free
But I call me a...
