Love You for Free

[Verse 1]

When you wake up too soon

'Cause slivers of the moon

Got under your skin

And walls are closing in

'Cause down in the city

Only God knows you're alone

[Verse 2]

When you feel there comes a time

That you are not mine

And I'm not yours

And hope itself ignores you

When the sigh you breathe

Is all you have that's yours to own

[Chorus]

You were so early

You fit in my hand

Like a bird in a cup

Now when you grow up

Remember my face

Like a promise of grace

In this world, my child

You have a place

[Verse 3]

When God swings overhead

Like a body from a tree

Remember what I said

Don't break the thread

Just float down the river

That splits into you and me

[Chorus]

You were so early

You fit in my hand

Like a bird in a cup

Now when you grow up

Remember my face

Like a promise of grace

In this world, my child

You have a place

[Post-Chorus]

Hush, it's just me

I'm one of the few

Who's gonna love you for free

Won't you take it from me?

Just one of the few

Who's gonna love you for free

Who's gonna love you for free

[Verse 4]

When all that you need

Is more than you can stand

When all that you free

Has laid waste unto the land

Remember she who hates herself

Is not humble

[Post-Chorus]

Hush, it's just me

I'm one of the few

Who's gonna love you for free

Won't you take it from me?

I'm one of the few

Who's gonna love you for free

Who's gonna love you for free
