about

This song was previously a title track idea for an independent movie that was never made. We later reworked the production and lyrics. The comparison of a relationship to a prison cell led us to draw inspiration from The Night of The Hunter’s opening scenes depicting Robert Mitchum behind bars.

lyrics

Four cold brick walls
Make my bed upon the floor
I know you got, got my key
And you keep me here eternally

My cigarettes will burn
While dreamin’ on
All the guys and girls
With eyes wide as worlds
Free as the birds
I wish that I had learnt
Heeded their words
Free as the birds
Free as the birds

Turn back the time
To make life as sweet as apple pie
And I’m stuck to you
Like the ground under your shoes, so darlin’

Cigarettes will burn
While dreamin’ on
All the guys and girls
With eyes wide as worlds
Free as the birds
I wish that I had learnt
Heeded their words
Free as the birds
Free as the birds

Cigarettes will burn
While dreamin’ on
All the guys and girls
With eyes wide as worlds
Free as the birds
I wish I had learnt
Heeded their words
Free as the birds
I wish I had learnt
Free as the birds
