I'm free to go. There's no more need to stay. Throw away the works of years And return to Adam's way. Retreat from shadow To dabble baths and sun bleached joys. Live it out on an island in the mind Untouched by human flaws. I'm free to go. There's nothing in my way. Up above the rainbow's end The gold all melts away. Return a hero From distant lands of fight and fire. Escape into the piece in my mind And climbing higher and higher. I nearly made it that time. I nearly got away. I nearly made it that time, But I always have to stay. I'm throwing out my tickets To the outside world. Lost interest in a drama Which is destined to unfold. I'm heading out for the shores Of a friendly land. Where every grain of sand Reaches out to shake me By the hand. I nearly made it that time. I nearly got away. I nearly made it that time, But I always have to stay.
