Set You Free This Time Lyrics By The Byrds

    the first thing that i heard you say when you were standing there
    set in your way was that you were not blind
    you were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
    that you could see that could go beyond your mind
    now who’s standing at the door remembering the days before
    and asking please be kind

    it isn’t how it was set up to be but i’ve set you free this time

    i have never been so far out in front that i could ever ask for what i want
    and have it any time
    knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what i should be
    and there i stood behind
    with all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
    tear me from my mind

    i could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
    thing to lose because there was your stand
    on top of all the love you took
    there was only something you can look at lying in your hand
    now who’s wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
    to have each thing work fine
