The Prisoner — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

Im thanking you for opening my eyes so clear

And sweeping old illusions from my soul

But most of all for turning something simple and sincere

Into somethin jaded and as jive as rock n roll.



Chorus:

Aint you always looked at lovin like a four letter word

That I made up to make you ill at ease

I fought to free you from your castle of despair

til I saw the prison wall was me



See the soul who calls itself a prisoner

cause its still too frightened to be free

I feel so much older now, and wiser

Aint it sad how lonesome that can be.



Chorus:

Aint you always looked at lovin like a four letter word

That I made up to make you ill at ease

I fought to free you from your castle of despair

til I saw the prison wall was me



Chorus:

Aint you always looked at lovin like a four letter word

That I made up to make you ill at ease

I fought to free you from your castle of despair

til I saw the prison wall was me
