Indigo Girls – Free In You

Words and music by Emily Saliers

A hard knock

A cold clock

Ticking off my time

A long look

But no luck

Couldn’t seem to find

Or unwind

Into peace of mind

While I was trying

A quick glance

A big chance

My heart beat like a drum

I saw you

And I knew

Chances just don’t come

Round again

Not like this

First a laugh

Then a kiss

And I’m free in you

I’ve got no worries on my mind

I know what to do

That’s to treat you right

And love you kind

Thank you ever on my mind

Love is just like breathing

When it’s true

And I’m free in you

The lost time

And self pride

Are my big mistakes

A clear voice

A bad choice

Sounding like an ache

In my day

Not too bad

But too real

To go away

But now I’m free in you

I’ve got no worries on my mind

I know what to do

That’s to treat you right

And love you kind

Thank you ever on my mind

Love is just like breathing

When it’s true

And I’m free in you

And I don’t know

How you show

Such gentle disregard

For the ugly in me

That I see

That for so long

I took so hard

(I took so hard)

And I truly believe

(I truly believe)

That you see the best in me

(That you see the best in me)

I’m enough

For your love

And that thought

Sets me free

Free in you

Got no worries on my mind

I know what to do

That’s to treat you right

And love you kind

Thank you ever on my mind

Love is just like breathing

When it’s true

And I’m free in you
