Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Staring at the dark again
You left your silhouette upon my pillow
Hey, hey
Right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light
Seems like I'm in the middle
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Working for something that I can't touch
And sometimes can't even believe in
Whoa, oh
Cradled by the hands of fate
The fate that sometimes wraps around too tight
So tight
[Verse 3]
They call me free
But I call me a fool
Hey, hey
They call me free
But I call me a fool
Hey, hey
[Verse 4]
Well, I look back at April
But she won't look back at me
Oh, no, no, no
So I pray in May for June to stay
But she just came to wash into the sea
Away
[Verse 5]
And they call me free
But I call me a fool
Hey, hey
They call me free
But I call me a fool
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 6]
Slipped down to Mexico
Started messing with her yellow afro
Slipped down behind the sheets
Started talking 'bout Pistol Pete, well
Slipped down to the African
Started talking 'bout what she can do
And here we are again
Back where we started
[Verse 7]
Slipped down to the dark again
You left your silhouette upon my pillow
Hey, hey
Well, I'm right inside the night, I'm waiting for the light
Seems like I'm in the
Seems like I'm always in the middle
[Verse 8]
They call me free
They call me free
Free
But I call me a
