I’m so glad

I’m so glad

And the river that runs through my soul for you

Is totally out of control for you

I’m so glad

I’m so free

I’m so free

I’m so tall

I won’t fall

And you run through the falls bringing wine to me

And I step through the wall in a revelry

I’m so free

All around, and up and down the little town, the girl falls down

Back on her feet, and on the street; a little beat, but not beaten down

In the night, I caught a fright; then saw a light, and thought you’d come ‘round

Not to stay, but just to say, you love me day in and day out

I’m so free

It’s just me

I feel cool

Real cool

And I’ll chase you, and you’ll chase me

Never, we know, shall the twain come to meet

I’m so free

I’d been lost

Double-crossed

Stepping on and off of the track again

Living like I’d never get it back again

I’d been tossed

Giving like a goddamned man again

And damn the cost

She ran free

To the sea

Opened her arms to the road ahead

Felt the sweet charms of the road that led 

her to me

Thinking that she might reload ahead

Refresh, be free

And when the sky poured down ahead of me

As if to sigh for what you’d said to me

Blushing and shy, nodded your head to me

And winked your eye like breaking bread for me

And later when I saw you on the lawn

Only you and I up with the dawn 

There with only fate to chance upon

I felt cold

I’d been told

Could have gone to bed when the fire died

Ended up instead by the riverside

I felt bold 

Had to try something I’d never tried 

No guts; no gold

She ran fast

From the past

Didn’t want to speak of our flaws a while

Thinking if she waited or paused a while

She’d be last

Leaving the confusion we’d caused a while

At long last

Said if I die and you remember me

Then I will fly to the edge of the sea

And touch the sky as it falls away from me

And testify that you’re my everything

Then, later when I saw you on the lawn

Only you and I up with the dawn

There with only fate to chance upon

I felt good

In my old ‘hood

Had a few beers on a Saturday

Figured that I’d rather go that-a-way 

than be good

Feeling like I could have been badder

Hey, but that’s understood
