Free of It All — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

You were captain of the ship

It was headed for rocks

But you were first in the lifeboat somehow

Now youre watching from shore

As the passengers wave from the bow





Free of it all

Now youll just float away

Blowin like leaves on the wind

The rules of the game can be changed

By the one who wins





Chorus:

Now youre free of it all

So free of it all

Now youre free of it all

So free of it all

And I know that youd say

That youd always planned it this way







The cargo was lost

But you never give in

Your heart is still locked in a vault

Youre free of it all

When its somebody elses fault





To finish this spin

With the twist of a hand

To know that youve hidden a crime

One goes on ahead while another is left behind





Chorus:

And youre free of it all

So free of it all

Now youre free of it all

So free of it all

And you knew I would say

Youd always planned it this way







I always knew

You would walk out one day

And it never crossed my mind

To throw in just one more dime

And get this close to the line





Now that its done

And my locksve been changed

And the keys are all back in the drawer

Youre not a prisoner

Im not a guard anymore





Chorus:

And youre free of it all

So free of it all

Now youre free of it all

So free of it all

And youre free of it all

So free of it all

Now youre free of it all

So free of it all

And I know you would say

That youd always planned it this way
