The Prisoner

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

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

Till 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

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

Till I saw the prison wall was me

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

Till I saw the prison wall was me
