Neil Diamond - Open Wide These Prison Doors lyrics

Written by: neil diamond and stewart harris Tied by love to you, but i was tied too strong Still i'm afraid of knowing what leaving means I know i lived for you, and all i tried to do You were the keeper of my dreams Open wide these prison doors Take these chains from around my heart Make believe that i'm no more And don't mind when i depart Need to find another place Where love is not just tossed away If you really care for me Open wide these prison doors And set me free You were always caring, always warm and kind But that was long ago, when love was blind And i don't want to hurt you, the way that i've been hurt But if i stay i'll lose my mind Open wide these prison doors Take these chains from around my heart Make believe that i'm no more And don't mind when i depart Need to find another place Where love is not just tossed away If you really care for me Open wide these prison doors And set me free Time is always moving While we're here standing still I love you even though i'm leaving And maybe i always will But, open wide these prison doors Take these chains from around my heart Make believe that i'm no more And don't mind when i depart Need to find another place Where love is not just tossed away And if you really care for me Open wide these prison doors And set me free If you really care for me Open wide these prison doors And set me free Set me free, yeah Come on and set me free Set me free
