Steve Earle - Lonely Are The Free lyrics

Lonely are the free 'Cause there ain't that many of them They don't walk like you and me They just tumble in the breeze Lighter than a feather All together, separately That's how it's s'posed to be No matter where they wander From post to in between, From here to over yonder, There's no place for them to land Lonely are the free The silent are the strong Not so much as a whisper Tells you anything is wrong You've known all along, But you can't help but listen And now the moment's gone. It keeps you hanging on Until the stillness signaling The breaking of the dawn, Is shattered by the sirens Singing sacrificial songs The silent are the strong. That's all they used to see A violent shadow pa**ing 'cross The sun so fleetingly That if you have to ask you miss it Anyway you see Lonely are the free Lonely are the free
