Freedom and Fire
Keith Landry
If someone - maybe you think is a little wild-eyed - grabs you by the hand and asks you to run, do it. If you don’t, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.
FREEDOM AND FIRE
You never see love coming
But you sure can see it leaving clear as day
When you and I were off and running
It wasn’t long ’til you were running away
You were a crazy kind of wild
Your father was the wind, your mother was the sun
And when you flashed that little smile
I should’ve known you’d run
‘Cuz there was freedom and fire and danger and fear
In the way you were smiling from ear to ear
Like the storm couldn’t touch you no matter how much
You’d been standing out in the rain
I never had a chance girl you knew it
Looking back baby I know I blew it
I should’ve known how I’d miss you right now
What I wouldn’t give to see you again
Like a river through my hands
Your rushing water was way too strong
The only place you couldn’t stand
Was anywhere that you’d been standing too long
You were a crazy kind of wild
Your father was the wind, your mother was the sun
And when you flashed that little smile
I should’ve known you’d run
‘Cuz there was freedom and fire and danger and fear
In the way you were smiling from ear to ear
Like the storm couldn’t touch you no matter how much
You’d been standing out in the rain
I never had a chance girl you knew it
Looking back baby I know I blew it
I should’ve known how I’d miss you right now
What I wouldn’t give to see you again
Tonight I’ll lay me down and wonder where you are
And if I should die from all my battle scars
I pray you’ll keep me somewhere in your heart
Should’ve known right from the start
‘Cuz there was freedom and fire and danger and fear
In the way you were smiling from ear to ear
Like the storm couldn’t touch you no matter how much
You’d been standing out in the rain
I never had a chance girl you knew it
Looking back baby I know I blew it
I should’ve known how I’d miss you right now
What I wouldn’t give to see you again
I didn’t say the fight was fair
But it sure as hell was fun
Just breathing in your air
When you took my hand why didn’t I run?
