Many A Mile To Freedom

Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull

Many a mile to freedom

Many a smile to tell

Ask my bluebird to sing you

From the heart of a wishing well



Call all my reindeer to graze here

Call all my grain to grow

Then together we flow like the river

Then together we melt like the snow



Many a thought unanswered

Many a tale to tell

Ask my bluebird to sing you

From the heart of a wishing well



If you should ask me the reason

The reason for life that we know

Then together we flow like the river

And together we melt like the snow



If you should ask me then give me

The reason for life that we know

Then together we flow like the river

Then together we melt like the snow



Few more miles to go, miles to freedom

A few more miles to go, miles to freedom

A few more miles to go, few miles to freedom

Few more miles to go, miles to freedom

Many A Mile To Freedom
