Pull Me Free

By Ian G. Clifton
September 29th, 2003

They?ve all abandoned me
On a desert isle
I can?t remember when someone last cared
It?s been quite a while

After the years
I was use to being alone
I never received desired mail
Barely had reason for a phone

My heart grew numb
But my head grew thick
I perpetuated my loneliness
I think my soul was sick

I no longer fought back
I thought solitude was my fate
Then you showed up
Opened Heaven?s gate

Pull me free
I want your arms around me
Hold me close and make me see
Here?s my heart and here?s the key


Now I remember
What it is like to cry
The tingling and the tears
As they fall from my eye

I don?t have to cry
As long as you are near
Not being good enough
Is my only fear

I?ve been so empty
My depression I had to cling
Sorrow and self-pity
Were the treasures of this morose king

If I let them go
Will you fill the void
Without something to hold me
I think I?ll be destroyed

Pull me free
I want your arms around me
Hold me close and make me see
Here?s my heart and here?s the key


Your skin is silk
Better than rays of the sun
Your qualities are many
Your faults are none

Your hair is gold
Worth more than I own
Your smile is happiness
I should have known

Your eyes are gems
Sparkling in the light
Sometimes they shine so much
I wonder if you can see at night

Your touch is rapture
The reason to exist
I?m holding you in my arms
And already you are missed

Pull me free
I want your arms around me
Hold me close and make me see
Here?s my heart and here?s the key


When you have to leave me
I think I could die
I have to try so hard
Not to shrivel up and cry

All my thoughts
You took away
Replaced them with yourself
I think of you every day

I can?t control them
Where they go
When I think of you
I just don?t know

Where am I
Do I really care
Just as long as I know
You?re out there somewhere

Pull me free
I want your arms around me
Hold me close and make me see
Here?s my heart and here?s the key


I want to hold you
Never let you go
I want to kiss you
Make my love show

I want you to hold me
?til I grow old
I want you to kiss me
Make me feel like gold

Everything I have
I want to share
I?d let myself die
Just to show I care

You can?t do the same
Because if you did die
The only thoughts in my head
Would be the question why

Pull me free
I want your arms around me
Hold me close and make me see
Here?s my heart and here?s the key
