We made a deal then, spring '94
Pounding on always crying at the door
Running with strangers, blaming the time
Chasing down freedom til it was mine
Your picture's sleeping faced down beside me
Your memory's all that treats me kindly
The hounds are howling calling you home
A song that's whispering he might not be alone
I'm free to use the other half of our bed
I've slept there since the day you said goodbye
I'm free to do the things I thought I wanted to
So how come all I want to do is die
I'm so lonesome without you near me
Somewhere you're dreaming you can hear me
My heart was dead wrong for ever leaving
I've gotta be strong and keep believing
I'm free to cry about you every night
Free to dance with someone I don't love and let him hold me tight
I'm free to hate myself for acting like a fool
Free to have the time of my life here without you
I'm free to cry about you every night
Free to dance with someone I don't love and let him hold me tight
I'm free to hope and pray that you'll come back to me
I will wait for you but until then I'm free
