Lonely Are The Free - Steve Earle

What I have so far:

Lonely are the free

cuz there ain’t that many of them

they don’t walk like you and me They just tumble in the breeze

lighter than a feather

altogether separately

That’s how it’s supposed to?

be No matter where they wander

from coast to in between

from here to o’beyonder

There’s no place for them to land

Lonely are the free

Sign them on strong

at so much as a whisper

tells you anything is wrong

we know we’re not alone

you can’t help but listen

and?

now the moment’s gone

It keeps you hanging on until the stillness signaling

the breaking of the dawn

is shattered by the silencing

of sacrificial songs

the silent are the strong

That’s all there is to?

see

A violet shadow casting

across the sun so fleetingly

that if you have to ask you miss it anyway you see

lonely are the free (x2)
