A.C. Nash Poet Lyric

Wild and Free

I used to be the guy
Your eyes would sparkle
You'd give out a sigh
I'm in awe, remarkable
Your heart beat faster
Every time I smiled
Never ending love
We were free and wild

Then I took a chance
One roll of the dice
Crazy wondering eyes
What a glorious vice
Didn't feel like a fall
She fit in my hands
Couldn't hear the tick
Almost out of sand

Though I hid my lie
Your spark is gone 
Where's your sigh, my awe
You say nothing's wrong
Can't feel your heart
I can't force a smile 
Never ending love
Has been gone awhile

One forbidden dance
I just can't confess
My romantic bliss
Now an unsettled mess
It's as if you know
You can see through me
Can't hide the loss
Of wild and free
