i’m gonna send you down the river
on a boat made of leaves
and i’ll watch you from the harbor
i’ll watch you as it sinks

i’m gonna set me free

i’m gonna gather all the letters
that i wrote you from my bed
i’ll bury them at sundown
pretend i’ve buried us instead

free – i’m gonna set me free

no more safe retreats at midnight
no more make-believe till dawn
no more romance in the details
of the darkness i forgot

free – I’m gonna set me free
free – I’m gonna set me free

you were everything i wanted
there was nothing left at all
so i drank you in like water
i drank you in

free – i’m gonna set me free
free – i’m gonna set me free

i’m gonna send you down the river
on a boat made of leaves
and i’ll watch you from the harbor...
