Prisoner - Autumn Sky

I know how it’s supposed to go, with my hands tied back like a prisoner’s And I know how you want it to go, with my feet shackled like a prisoner’s I refuse to feed a lie inside my soul I will not stand idly watching anymore If nobody will wrench these chains I will do what I know It’s either up or down, and what goes up must then fall down below I will not give the love of a prisoner

You stand tall like a sentry-man, with a sword by every gate Who tells you to this love, when it’s love I can’t escape? If you were true, the door’d be open wide You would trust in me and have nothing to hide Now if nobody will wrench these chains, I will do what I know It’s either then or now, you cannot keep the past inside a drawer And refuse to give the key to the prisoner
