1	I saw you running ahead of the crowd						I saw you running	1
2	I chased but never thought I'd catch you						Ahead of the crowd	2
3	You said you loved me but you had to be free						I chased                 but never thought	3
4	And I let you, why did I let you?						I'd catch you.	4
5							You said you loved me	5
6	We walked together through the gardens and graves						But you had to be free	6
7	I watched you grow to be a woman						And I let you.	7
8	Living on promises that nobody gave to no one						Why did I let you?	8
9	They were given to no one						We walked together	9
10							Through the	10
11	I started listening to the wind and the rain						gardens                                    and graves	11
12	You strained your ears but could hear nothing						I watched you grow	12
13	One night I thought I heard them						To be a woman.	13
14	Whisper my name and I went running						Living on promises	14
15							That nobody gave	15
16	I left a trail of footprints deep in the snow						To no one.	16
17	I swore one day I would retrace them						They were given to no one.	17
18	But when I turned around I found that the wind						I started listening	18
19	Had erased them now I'll never replace them						To the wind and the rain.	19
20							You strained your ears	20
21	Fly away, my sweet bird over the land						But could hear nothing.	21
22	Take life for all the freedom you can						One night I thought	22
23	But if you ever should need a man						I heard them	23
24	Well, the offer still stands						Whisper my name.	24
25							And I went running.	25
26	I hear you've taken on a husband and child						I left                    a trail	26
27	And live somewhere in Pennsylvania						of footprints	27
28	I never thought you'd ever sever the string						Deep in                              the snow	28
29	But I can't blame you none						I swore one day	29
30							I would retrace them.	30
31	So let the ashes fall and lay where they will						But when I turned around	31
32	Just say that once you used to know me						I found that the wind	32
33	One last time sing that old song we used to know						Had erased them.	33
34	But this time sing, this time sing						Now I'll never replace them.	34
35	Oh, this time sing a little more slowly						Fly away, my sweet bird	35
36							over the land	36
37	Fly away, my sweet bird over the land						Take life for all	37
38	Take life for all the freedom you can						the freedom you can	38
39	But if you ever should need a man						But if you ever	39
	Well, the offer still stands						should need a man
1							Well, the offer	1
2							still stands.	2
3							I hear you've taken on	3
4							a husband and child	4
5							and live somewhere	5
6							in Pennsylvania	6
7							I never thought you'd ever	7
8							sever the string	8
9							But I can't blame you none.	9
10							So let the ashes fall	10
11							And lay where they will	11
12							Just say that once	12
13							You used to know me.	13
14							One last time sing	14
15							that old song	15
16							We used to know	16
17							But this time sing	17
18							A little more slowly.	18
19							Fly away, my sweet bird	19
20							over the land	20
21							Take life for all	21
22							the freedom you can	22
23							But if you ever	23
24							should need a man	24
25							Well, the offer	25
