Will She Free Him? (Song)

Will She Free Him?

(i)

He lies alone in his room cold and bare

She left a long time ago

But he doesn't know why she leaves him.

His mind will trace her for millions of miles

Many lovers to come

Will she free him?

(ii)

He'll dine in a cafe and the one he will choose

Won't have a table with wine

But he'll think it's fine

It shall please him.

Through the long lonely night he'll wait in the dark

Alone in his pain

Will she free him?

(iii)

He sits in the station it's raining outside

The wind and the cold never end

Why don't his friends come to see him?

The journey is long not going nowhere

And when he reaches the end

Will she free him?

Reasons (Song)

Reasons

(i)

Warm was the sunlight that burned in the skies

Reflecting the loveliness born in your eyes.

O why did you have to go?

Your reasons you never did say.

(ii)

We loved in our forests, we played in the sand

You helped me through bad times

I can't understand

Just why you had to go

Your reasons you never did say.

(iii)

Remember the first time you played me your song

I danced to the music while morning was young

O why did you have to go my love?

Your reasons you never did say

No, your reasons you never did say.
