Set You Free This Time

The first thing that I heard you say

When you were standing there sad in your way

Was that you were not blind

You were sure to make a fool of me

'Cause there was nothing there was that you could see

That could go beyond your mind.

Now who's standing at the door

Remembering the days before

And asking please be kind

It isn't how it was set up to be

But I set you free this time

I have never been so far out in front

That I could never ask for what I want

And have it anytime

Knowing this you found the thought for me

That told you just what I should be

And there I stood behind.

With all the ones that were before

And memories that always seem to tear me from my mind

In front of what it is you see me to be

And I've set you free this time.

I could never find a chance to choose

Between a way to to wear or a thing to loose

Because there was your stand

On top of all the love you took

That was always something you could look at

Lying in your hand

Now who's wondering what has changed

And why it cannot be arranged to have each thing work fine

It isn't how it was set up to be

But I've set you free this time.
