Lyrics Been Set Free - Son Volt

Been Set Free

I am the voice of Lilli Schull
Muffled since nineteen three
When my lover became my murderer
And burned the flesh off of me
My life’s been a burden
Now I’m going home
I’ve been loaded down
Now I’ve been set free
Never saw my child
Nor heard her little heart pound
Ten minutes turned blood cold
And I leave this earthly ground
My life’s been a burden
Now I’m going home
I’ve been loaded down
Now I’ve been set free
Farewell family, everyone I’ve known
I lived within you but I rest alone
May my leaving not be in vain
Carry on, believe in, remember my name
My life’s been a burden
Now I’m going home
I’ve been loaded down
Now I’ve been set free
