You're free to go, darlin', I'll break the ties that bind
Somehow the dreams we planned have gone astray
You're free to go darlin', so ease your worried mind
I'll never stand in your way

There's no ring of shining gold so strong that it can hold
A heart when it longs to be free
The lips are cold, darlin', that once said yes to me
The tender glow is gone I know, you're free to go

There's no ring of shining gold so strong that it can hold
A heart when it longs to be free
The lips are cold, darlin', that once said yes to me
The tender glow is gone I know, you're free to go
