THE FREEDOM SESSIONS
Elsewhere
I love the time I'm in between/
The calm inside me/
In the space where I can breathe/
I believe there is a distance I have wandered/
To touch upon the years of /
Reaching out and reaching in/
Holding out; Holding in/
I know this love is passing time/
Passing through like liquid and/
I am drunk in my desire..../
But I love the way you smile at me/
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near/
I believe.../
I; I believe this is heaven to no one else but me/
And I'll defend it as long as I can be/
Left here to linger in silence if I choose to/
Would you try to understand?/
Ooh, the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free/
The mold that clings like desperation/
Mother can't you see I've got/
To live my life the way I feel is right for me/
Might not be right for you/
But it's right for me/
Oh, I believe this is heaven to no one else but me/
And I'll defend it long as I can be/
Left here to linger in silence if I choose to/
Would you try to understand it?/
I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to/
Would you understand it?/
Would you try?/
Would you try to understand?/
Plenty
I looked into your eyes /
they told me plenty I already know, /
you never felt a thing /
so soon forgotten /
all that you do is more than words /
I tried to tell you the more I tried I failed /
I would not let myself believe that you might stray /
and I would stand by you no matter what they say. /
I thought I'd be with you until my dying day. /
I used to think my life was often empty /
a lonely space to fill. /
You hurt me more than I ever could have imagined, /
you made my world stand still /
and in that stillness there was a freedom /
I never felt before./
I would not let myself believe that you might stray /
and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say./
I thought I'd be with you until my dying day, /
until my dying day. /
Mary
Mary walks down to the water's edge/
And there she hangs her head/
To find herself faded/
A shadow of what she once was/
She says, "How long have I been sleeping/
And why do I feel so old? Why do I feel so cold?/
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go"/
With trembling hands she reaches out/
A stranger's flesh is offered/
And I would be the last to know/
I would be the last to let show/
I would be the last to go/
Take her hand/
She will lead you through the fire/
Give you back hope and/
Hope that you don't take too much /
Respecting what is left/
She cradled us/
She held us in her arms /
Unselfish in her suffering/
She could not understand/
That no one seemed to have the time/
To cherish what was given/
And I would be the last to know/
And I would be the last to let show/
I would be the last to go/
Mary walks.../
And I would be the last to know/
And I would be the last to let show/
I would be the last to go/
Good Enough
Hey, your glass is empty/
It's a hell of a long way home/
Why don't you let me take you/
It's no good to go alone/
I never would have opened up /
But you seemed so real to me/
After all the bullshit I've heard/
It's refreshing not to see/
I don't have to pretend/
She doesn't expect it from me/
Don't tell me I haven't been good to you/
Don't tell me I have never been there for you/
Don't tell me why/
Nothing is good enough/
Hey little girl, would like some candy?/
Your momma said it's okay/
The door is open; come on outside/
No, I can't come out today/
It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder/
And threw you to the ground/
Who's there makes you so afraid./
You're shaken to the bone/
I don't understand/
You deserve so much more than this/
So don't tell me why he's never been good to you/
Don't tell me why he's never been there for you/
Don't you know that why is simply not good enough/
Oh, so just let me try and I will be good to you/
Just let me try and I will be there for you/
I'll show you why/
You're so much more than good enough/
Oh, so don't tell me why he's never been good to you/
Don't tell me why he's never been there for you/
Don't you know that why is simply not good enough/
So just let me try and I will be good to you/
Just let me try and I will there for you/
I'll show you why/
You're so much more than good enough/
Hold On
Hold on Hold on to yourself /
for this is gonna hurt like hell. /
Hold on Hold on to yourself, /
you know that only time can tell /
what is it in me that refuses to believe /
this isn't easier than the real thing. /
My love you know that you're my best friend /
you know that I'd do anything for you, /
and my love let nothing come between us /
my love for you is strong and true. /
Am I in heaven here or am I... /
At the crossroads I am standing,/
so now you're sleeping peaceful /
I lie awake and pray /
that you'll be strong tomorrow /
and we'll see another day /
and we will praise it /
and love the light that brings a smile across your face. /
Oh god if you're out there won't you hear me. /
I know we've never talked before, /
and oh god the man I love is leaving/
won't you take him when he comes to your door. /
Am I in heaven here or am I in hell /
at the crossroads I am standing. /
So now you're sleeping peaceful /
I lie awake and pray /
that you'll be strong tomorrow /
and we will see another day /
and we will praise it /
and love the light that brings a smile across your face... /
Hold on hold on to yourself for this is gonna hurt like hell. /
Ice Cream
Your love is better than ice cream, /
better than anything else that I've tired /
and your love is better than ice cream /
everyone here knows how to fight. /
And it's a long way down /
it's a long way down /
it's a long way down to the place where we started from. /
Your love is better than chocolate /
better than anything else that I've tried /
and oh love is better than chocolate, /
everyone here knows how to cry. /
And it's a long way down /
it's a long way down /
it's a long way down to the place where we started from... /
do do do... /
Ice
The ice is thin come on dive in/
underneath my lucid skin/
the cold is lost, forgotten/
Hours pass days pass time stands still/
light gets dark and darkness fills/
my secret heart forbidden.../
I think you worried for me then/
the subtle ways that I'd give in but I know/
you liked the show/
tied down to this bed of shame/
you tried to move around the pain but oh/
your soul is anchored/
The only comfort is/
the moving of the river/
You enter into me/
a lie upon your lips/
offer what you can /
I'll take all that I can get/
only a fool's here.../
I don't like your tragic sighs/
as if your god has passed you by well hey Fool/
that's your deception/
your angels speak with jilted tongues/
the serpent's tale has come undone you have no/
strength to squander/
The only comfort is/
the moving of the river/
You enter into me/
a lie upon your lips/
offer what you can /
I'll take all that I can get/
only a fool's here to stay /
only a fool's here to stay /
only a fool's here.../
0l' 55
Well my time has come quickly
I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly
I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger
And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
Well there's trucks all a-passing and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place
Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger
Well my time has come quickly I go lickety splitly
Down to my ol' 55
Well I pulled away slowly I was feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
Now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with lady luck
Freeways, cars, and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishing I stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, lemme tell you the feeling's getting stronger
