Last time you called me, I didn't want to know.
All I cried for was freedom,
thought you wouldn't let me go.
Though I failed to make the feelings last,
the mountain-top has all but passed, and
the good time's gone so fast I don't realise it's you.
Can't see the cage for the clouds.
Don't have the privilege of standing out in the crowd.
Won't change as long as I can hold on.
Sometimes wonder who I'm running from.
Reaching for a reason to change my point of view.
Follow the rainbow and smile to see it's true.
Now I've used up my second chance,
flown past the final dance, but
I can't blame circumstance, I've known all along it's you.
They call it freedom
but I would call it loneliness,
a silent cry for mercy in the darkness of the night.
Now the time has come,
shake off this cloak of self-defence;
with eagle's wings the bird will take to flight.
As I come to my senses I begin to see
all I need now is freedom, there's nothing here for me
Only the pain of my selfish lies,
the bitter tears I can't disguise
And the look of love-light in your eyes
is calling me home to you.
