James Taylor - Sleep Come Free Me lyrics

Well, I've been lying in this dungeon

Since I was eighteen

Ten lonely years of my life taken

I've been living in the pages of a magazine

It breaks my heart to awaken

(Chorus)

Set me free

Sleep come free me (please, please, please)

Set me free

Set me free

Now the state of Alabama says I killed a man

The jury reached the same conclusion

I remember I was there

With a tire iron in my hand

The rest is all confusion

- Chorus -

More like an animal and less like a man

What they leave you ain't worth keeping

Brother let me tell you

I got a clock with no hands

The only way out is through sleeping

- Chorus -

You get to where you used to be

Whoever you claim

It's open to interpretation

Just remember your number

And abandon your name

And hold on to your imgination

Oh no no

- Chorus -
