The Byrds - Set you free this time lyrics

The first thing that I heard you say

When you were standing there

Sad in your way was that you were not blind

You were sure to make a fool of me

'Cause there was nothing there that you could see

That could go beyond your mind

Now who's standing at the door

Remembering the days before and asking please be kind

It isn't how it was set up to be

But I set you free this time

I have never been so far out in front

That I could ever ask for what I want and have it any time

Knowing this you found the thought for me

That told you just what I should be and there I stood behind

With all the ones that were before

And memories that only seem to tear me from my mind

In front of what it is you see me to be

I've set you free this time

I could never find a chance to choose

Between a way to win or a thing to lose

Because there was your stand

On top of all of the love you took

What was always something you could look at lying in your hand

Now who's wondering what has changed

And why it cannot be arranged to have each thing work fine

It isn't how it was set up to be

But I've set you free this time
