Freedom Run

The Rifles Freedom Run Lyrics
1.Dreamer

If love is gone I'm gonna walk these streets
And who's a man if he can't dream
So give me a friend with a heart that beats
Find a way where I belong
So help me sing along.

Moving on to a different place
I'll keep my heart and I'll keep my face
I dream of you, the things you say,
And keep moving on
The simple things I wish I said
When I look back now I regret
Although it's true I dream of you
I keep moving on.

I'm not afraid to say that I don't believe
In staying here to dig an early grave
So give me a friend with a heart that beats
Find a place where I belong
So help me sing along.

Moving on to a different place
I'll keep my heart and I'll keep my face
I dream of you, the things you say
And keep moving on
The simple things I wish I said
When I look back now I regret
Although it's true I dream of you
I keep moving on.

You're just a dreamer.


2.Long Walk Back

For the first time in my life
I'm feeling plain ordinary
And I don't have the fight
To carry on with the melee
'Cos I don't have the shoes
Like my soul's dead and buried
Running off with the blues

But one day at a time they say
And if you're knowing where you're going
You'll be finding your way
But where I lay down
My tired head is going over and over
'Cos the feeling feels dead.

I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks
I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back
Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his
This time don't tell me that's all there is.

For the first time in my life I'm feeling plain ordinary
Am I wasting my time
'Cos I look for an answer
But I don't get a clue
Like somebody took my rhythm and just left me with the blues
But who knows 'cos if I take five
I might miss an opportunity if one should arise
But when I lay down my tired mind is
Going over and over
I hope the feeling's alive.

I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks
I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back
Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his
This time don't tell me that's all there is.

How will I start feeling something
Might be about to change
When will I believe in something strong enough to chase
I know that I don't mean half of the stupid things I say
But lately I just feel like taking the long walk away.

I've been far and I've managed to stop the cracks
I've been wide and I've taken the long walk back
Nine times out of ten I'll be wanting his
This time don't tell me that's all there is.


3.Sweetest Thing

It's 'cos I love you girl I need you more and more
I know I need you girl of that I'm sure I'm sure
And when the rain does come I'll be by your side
You're my summertime I feel I'm alright
Through the winds of time I will not try to fight
Even when you're wrong you're always right

'Cos it's the sweetest thing-it's you that I adore
'Cos it's the sweetest thing my feet don't touch the floor.

And through the years we will grow
And this I feel I hope know.

'Cos it's the sweetest thing-it's you that I adore
'Cos it's the sweetest thing my feet don't touch the floor.

And when it feels like there's a hole inside just reach out
'Cos it's the sweetest thing
Whatever you want now whatever you need now
I'll come running.


4.Tangled Up In Love

I can't find the perfect word to say
How could I define
Nothing could relay this feeling in my mind
There's so many worlds but nothing hits the mark
The child has returned
Returned in my heart
And when you call my name
The whole wide world can walk away.

I'm tangled up in love.

I'd sail over seven seas
To get back to your door
I've everything I need but somehow I want more
'Cos there's so many times I've fallen out of love
But with you I find that I never get enough
And when you call my name
The whole wide world can walk away.

I'm tangled up in love (no other way).
Always willing always waiting for you I'm always waiting here.
I'm tangled up in love (no other way).
Always willing always waiting for you I'm always waiting here.


5.Everline

I'm gonna open up your eyes into the light
I'll be the shadow in the night
I'm gonna be the heavy rock that breaks your fall
Outside your house
I'll be the writing on the wall I'm gonna be there
when you cry
I'm gonna clip your wings
And break your loving arrows
In only me will you confide
My Everline
Girl you're forever mine.

And each time you feel the weight girl
I will be the load
I'll be the bump that's in the road
And every time that you lay
down to close your eyes
I'll be demon that you just can't exorcise
I'm gonna be there when you cry
I'm gonna clip your wings
And break your loving arrows
In only me will you confine
My Everline
You're only killing time.

Don't run and hide
You're just killing time
No one gets your heart
Your heart is mine.


6.Love Is A Key

Sitting in the back room
Stirring up the cauldron
Find a feeling
Let it go
Let your inner feelings show
Tearing down the back streets
Screaming with the sirens
Seldom seen is silence
Find a feeling
Let it go
I'll bring the bricks
You build the home
And woo I could be a better man
And grow if you really love me let it show
'Cos love is a key
And my baby she got me low
She got me digging holes
Sitting in the back room
Stirring up the cauldron
Find a feeling
Let it go
Let your inner feelings show
Tearing down the back streets
Screaming with the sirens
Seldom seen is silence
Find a feeling
Let it go
I'll bring the bricks
You build the home
And woo I could be a better man
And grow if you really love me
Let it show
'Cos love is a key
And my baby she got me feeling low
I like her on the knees.


7.Falling

I'm tied to you just like I'm tied to the mast
You know I'm too proud to even ask
And where I'm going I just can't see
But seeing's believing
I'm chained to the feeling.

And I just keep on falling
I just keep on falling
Keeping me crawling girl
I'm just falling now
Back to beginnings
Forever a feeling
Keep me believing
And follow the feeling now.

A poet with you when you sing me that verse
A manmade seed in your heavenly Earth
And where we're going we just can't see
But seeing's believing I'm chained to the feeling.

And I just keep on falling
I just keep on falling
Keeping me crawling girl
I'm just falling now
Back to beginnings
Forever a feeling
Keep me believing
And follow the feeling now.

Wow just a feeling
Just a feeling
What do you feel?


8.Interlude


9.Nothing Matters

In the still of night
We try so hard to fight
Through our hopes
And every little moment of despair
And over every town we're flying
On the ground
But never really know where we belong
'Til we get there
Nothing matters
No nothing really matters
In the times when we fall down.

Through the changing times
We never compromise anything
Inside our empty hearts to fit the crowd
So overlook the sound
Trying to pull you down
As far as I can see
It's jealous people talking loud.

And nothing really matters
No nothing really matters
In the times when we fall down
You just keep proud
'Cos nothing really matters
No nothing really matters
If you're running when you hit the ground.

And there's nothing that feels quite like
The way it feels coming back around.

Keep keeping on.


10.Coming Home

Check on your love
Check on your heart
Make it tick
And make it start
Nothing's gonna change
While we're still in this town
And you can check on the time
All you want
It's still killing
And it's still giving
And it's still turning
The weels and the tide
It just makes me so happy
I'm coming home
Throw me in the oven
With the black, black coal
Ground me like pepper
Until I fill your hole
Gotta tell you right now
About my fear
I don't need you to dance
I don't need you to sing
I don't need you tell me what has been
I don't even need the answer from the wise
It just makes me so happy
I'm coming home
We gotta keep moving on.

I'll be crying like a baby
Before you're done
Scratching at the door
For the freedom run.


11.I Get Low

I'm not like all the others baby
Don't ring the alarm
And don't say we've nothing
'Til you've been in these arms now baby
You're not like all the others baby
Come keep me warm
I don't mean undercover
But just the way that you are
Now baby say yeah
Not maybe
And please don't you hate me
It's not me it's my heart.

Baby I get low
I need someone to hold
Before we get too old
Take me back to your home.

I don't fight
I'm a lover
But I won't let you go
I'll hold you here forever
Or 'til you're telling me no
Now baby say yeah not maybe
And please don't you hate me
It's breaking my heart.

Baby I get low
I need someone to hold
Before we get too old
Take me back to your home
And make a new start.


12.Little Boy Blue (Human Needs)

There maybe wars, there maybe fights
Things I believed in, losing sight
Money exchanged for hate and greed
But I'm still hungry
For your basic human needs
You're just like a baby crying
Looking for your mama
As fast as lightning she'll be there
With the hand out, always there yeah
With the hand out
And when you gonna cut those strings
Your life's like concrete, it's got no wings
Never thought that you'd be the one
To stay at home 'til 40
And there maybe wars, and there maybe fights
Things I believed in, losing sight
Money exchanged for hate and greed
But I'm still hungry
For your basic human needs.
Little boy blue, with your hands brand new
Yeah you live in the sky
Don't you know it's gonna be hard
Getting out there in the real world yeah
Asking for favors, and running with the players
I wish I could tell you, I wish I could help you
I tried to love you, and this I can tell you

And no one can change you,
And no one can save you
What a sin yeah, this is all I can give you.
The world is brutal, the world is harsh
Learn to live, and learn to love
Don't be swayed by hate and greed
And maybe you'll find your human need
Learn to love.


13.Cry Baby

The very thing that's so outstanding
You never really know your worth
And finding heaven here on earth
Is hard I know
But if you never move your feet from standing
Then how you gonna make it work
But maybe given time
You'll learn in my heart you're gold.

Why can't you be happy, just to be
And why can't I be everything you need
(And I need to know).

When everything gets so demanding
The pretty little way you smile
Is never gonna let you hide the things
I already know
So when every little thing that you're planning
Don't work out or falls behind, baby realize
That you can't be right, first time every time.

Why can't you be happy, just to be
And why can't we be everything you need
(And I need you so).

'Cos you're only skin and bones
You never realize
Yeah
You're only skin and bones
You can cry baby cry
And you're only here alone
If you decide to be
But you're only skin and bones
So cry baby for me.

Under fire, I'm your cover
You'll never need another
You're never on your own
You'll never lose control at all.
