Artist: Emiliana Torrini| Title: TO BE FREE
Once in a house on a hill
a boy got angry
he broke into my heart
For a day and a night
I stayed beside him
until I had no home
So I came down the hill
of course I was hurt
but then I started to think:
It shouldn't hurt me to be free
it's what I really need
to pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
would you mind telling me
why I don't know what to do with myself
There's a bar by the dock
where I found myself
drinking with this man
He offered me a cigarette
and I accepted
'cause its been a very long time
as it burnt to the end
I thought of the boy
no-one could ever forget
It shouldn't hurt me to be free
it's what I really need
to pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
would you mind telling me
why I don't know to do with myself?
It shouldn't hurt me to be free
it's what I really need
to pull myself together
but if it's so good being free
would you mind telling me
why I don't know what do to with myself?
... to pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
would you mind telling me
why I don't know what to do with myself?
