The Vegabonds
Since You’ve Been Free
(Verse 1)
Last night, your friends turned up their noses, at the old dead black roses I had for you
And tonight, I’m thinking bout tomorrow, got to beg steal or borrow, to get you back home to me
I’ve had nothing since you’ve been free
I’ve had nothing since you’ve been free
(Verse 2)
Last night, you threw me back down on the dirty ground, even though you know I finally found the truth
And tonight, I’m changing things about the man, you cursed condemned and could not stand
Oh that man was me
I’m the reason your heart bleeds
I’m the reason your weary heart bleeds
(Verse 3)
Last night, the hurt shot forth from your lips, like cannon balls from warring ships, upon me
Tonight, I’m living with this stinging pain, because you know it’s made me sane
But the price of sanity…
Was watching you leave me
Was watching you walk out on me
(Bridge)
I know I’ll have to fight for you, but I ain't been feeling strong
But I won’t give up until you’re coming home…to me
(Verse 4)
Last night, a shameful look in the mirror, made it so much clearer…I need you
Tonight, I’m holding my head up high, because you know I’ve got to try…
To get you back home to me
I’ve had nothing since you’ve been free (4x)
