Benjamin Francis Leftwich
In the Open
We stayed up waiting for the morning
Beneath the full moon on the snow
You turned to me before you turned to go
You said I'm always rushing through the day
With my thoughts like bullets in my brain
And I don't need love it only gets in my way

[Chorus]
Oh baby are you free now?
Still living for the weekend
Do you shout into the wind when you're alone?
Oh baby are you stoned still?
Fired up and heavy eyes
Is your love still like a mission in the night?

When you're done with rolling all the dice
And you've wrapped them up and thrown them to the sky
Will you walk the river where we use to hide

[Chorus]
Oh baby are you free now?
Still living for the weekend
Do you shout into the wind when you're alone?
Oh baby are you stoned still?
Fired up and heavy eyes
Is your love still like a mission in the night?
Do you really want to run along by, trails of gold and silver?
Don't you want to throw your wishes out into the wild?
Do you really want to wake up to find, you just can't remember
How you use to be?

[Chorus]
Oh baby are you free now?
Still living for the weekend
Do you shout into the wind when you're alone?
Oh baby are you stoned still?
Fired up and heavy eyes
Is your lust still like a mission in the night?
