The Prisoner — текст песни (Kristofferson Kris)

I`m thanking you for opening my eyes so clear
And sweeping old illusions from my soul
But most of all for turning something simple and sincere
Into somethin` jaded and as jive as rock n` roll.
Chorus:
Ain`t you always looked at lovin` like a four letter word
That I made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
`Til I saw the prison wall was me
See the soul who calls itself a prisoner
`Cause it`s still too frightened to be free
I feel so much older now, and wiser
Ain`t it sad how lonesome that can be.
Chorus:
Ain`t you always looked at lovin` like a four letter word
That I made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
`Til I saw the prison wall was me
Chorus:
Ain`t you always looked at lovin` like a four letter word
That I made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
`Til I saw the prison wall was me
