lyrics

Everything’s so fragile; curse my careless grip
All that I could hold would only slip
And everything seems broken; blame my shaky hands
Life just makes me nervous; searching for the good things
Things that won’t just crumble into sand

I guess I’ll slip away til I’m gone
For no woman is free unless she moves along
Yesterday you folded; up and quit your job
Threatened that you’d kill your boss’s momma
But I bet his momma loves him, that she wouldn’t mind
Taking all your bullets; anything to save him
She would gladly give you all her life

So she’ll just slip away til she’s gone
For no woman is free; she’s imprisoned by love

Sister’s in the doorway; brother broke her heart
Wishes she had known it from the start
Wishes she could go back; back to Galilee
For there she’d learn the promise; that no one comes home spotless
And we must wager on that guarantee

So she’ll just slip away til she’s gone
For no woman is free unless she moves along

I met with the Big Man under last night’s moon
I told him that I’d like to come home sooner
He took me by still waters; kissed my shaky hands
Told me that he’d lead me; that I should rest easy
For everything is broken as it stands

So I’ll just stick around til I’m gone
For no woman is free unless she carries on
