A GIRL'S SONGS: FREE by MARY CAROLYN DAVIES

First Line: OVER AND OVER
Last Line: I AM BOUND -- BOUND.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Over and over
I tell the sky:
I am free -- I!

Over and over I tell the sea:
-- I am free!

Over and over I tell my lover
I am free, free!
Over and over.

But when the night comes black and cold,
I who am young, with fear grow old;
And I know, when the world is clear of sound,
I am bound -- bound.
