Lyrics Lonely Are The Free - Steve Earle

Lonely Are The Free

What I have so far:
Lonely are the free
cuz there ain’t that many of them
they don’t walk like you and me They just tumble in the breeze
lighter than a feather
altogether separately
That’s how it’s supposed to?
be No matter where they wander
from coast to in between
from here to o’beyonder
There’s no place for them to land
Lonely are the free
Sign them on strong
at so much as a whisper
tells you anything is wrong
we know we’re not alone
you can’t help but listen
and?
now the moment’s gone
It keeps you hanging on until the stillness signaling
the breaking of the dawn
is shattered by the silencing
of sacrificial songs
the silent are the strong
That’s all there is to?
see
A violet shadow casting
across the sun so fleetingly
that if you have to ask you miss it anyway you see
lonely are the free (x2)
