Sleep Come Free Me Lyrics - Flag - James Taylor

Well, I've been lying in this dungeon 

Since I was eighteen 

Ten lonely years of my life taken 

I've been living in the pages of a magazine 

It breaks my heart to awaken 

(chorus) 

Set me free 

Sleep come free me (please, please, please) 

Set me free 

Set me free 

Now the state of alabama says I killed a man 

The jury reached the same conclusion 

I remember I was there 

With a tire iron in my hand 

The rest is all confusion 

- chorus - 

More like an animal and less like a man 

What they leave you ain't worth keeping 

Brother let me tell you 

I got a clock with no hands 

The only way out is through sleeping 

- chorus - 

You get to where you used to be 

Whoever you claim 

It's open to interpretation 

Just remember your number 

And abandon your name 

And hold on to your name 

And hold on to your imgination 

Oh no no 

- chorus -
