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 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
