I'm free as a wondering breeze
I'm free to wander any place I please and yet
I can't escape from you
I'm free as the birds in the trees
I'm even free to sail the seven seas and yet
I can't escape from you
I could ride away and hide away,
Where we were miles apart
But when I got there I'd find you there
Right in my heart
And so you see that I'm really not free
I'm so afraid you might escape from me
And yet I can't escape from you
