Back home in Missouri
The creek would rise and fall
But never touched the house
A very different thing
That would drown us all
Turn us inside out
She'd like me back there
Before the leaves go
I told her someday
But really I don't know
I don't know
Will you set me free
From everything I thought that I would be
Will you set me free
And can I float a little while longer
Longer
I walk past see through houses
Under cherry skies
And I close my eyes
Do they listen to the whistling trains at night?
I did, in a different life
Can't I keep drifting
Where nobody knows my name?
Please don't make me play the game
Please don't make me play the game
Will you set me free
From everything I thought that I would be
Will you set me free
And can I float a little while longer
Longer
And can I float a little while longer
