lyrics

Free World
(Milly-la-Forêt/Plascassier, October 11, 1963)

It’s all about me again
Now I am free again
Nothing is holding me back
Over the moon am I
High as the bright blue sky
I’m wiping my prints, erasing my tracks
I long for these things when I become unsharpened
I’m in a beautiful cloud as I sink to the carpet
I have taunted this tragedy, dared this disaster
I’ve come to believe
There is just one way out of this cage

Cold in the morning gloom
The one that I scurry from
Well, I’ve taken the bait
Now I’ve only got myself to blame
No cheap sentiment in this poetry filling my head
How strange, the remorse for playing the game
She said ‘I want you to know
That I’m here to support you
You can see all I offer, the doors I can open
I’m a patron of art and your foreign boy beauty’
I felt light as a feather
But I sang like a bird in a cage

Now an Aznavour song’s floating up from the parlour
Wisps of afterglow smoke are lacing the air
I can feel my youth draining away
Here in the free world
Well, I saw my chance
But I couldn’t get there from here
You can try but you can’t get there from here
You can try but you can’t get there from here

And I’ve tried but I can’t get there from here
