Tonight I Have To Go

Locked behind a chain linked fence With the keys to my freedom in hand I'll wait until the pale moonlight To plan my ultimate escape It shouldn't really be that hard It's been in my heart for years I'll use the thick blanket of night To calm all of my minds fears Tonight's the night I must go I feel it in my bones My soul she has spoken to me Tonight I leave alone Other journeys wait for me I have been here such a long time My spirit yearns for freedom Underneath this moonlit sky
