Jail
I used to enjoy the sunshine, lazy days by the sea
Now the sunshine is a prisoner too, in here with me.
Freedom was just a word, it meant little to my soul
Now its all I crave, the only thing to make me whole.
I dream I am a mighty ship, the wind filling each sail
Far away in mind and body free from this awful jail.
Strong breezes taking me wherever I wish to go.
Far away magical places, some that I do not know.
Now my heart has lost all hope and turned to stone.
Each day I face the nightmare of waking up alone.
You used to bring me flowers to warm my heart,
And make promises that we would never part.
Now I feel abandoned, and the teardrops start.
I believed your plan, I certainly wasn’t smart.
You ran away and left me there to get caught.
You told me that my freedom you had bought.
I believed you, you were my hero my honey
But you hadn’t even arranged bail money.
We used to enjoy the sunshine you and me.
Now the sunshine is a prisoner here with me.
