David Songtext
von Frances Luke Accord

David, you′re my only child
My memory that freedom only walks so far
In love I mean
Your shadow grows longer impatiently

The night wolf blooms in the moon
She'll call your rise and fall
But, baby, how you′ve lost the sound of your voice
With this dying wish to roll the dice and stay alive

My friend, you'll learn to find
That freedom only walks so far in love
That freedom only walks so far in love

Oh I adore you, bride of mine
I feel the sound, the din of God ringing in my bones
David writes, "I hear the blow, the horn that turns stone to mud
And leads the blind to see that freedom only walks so far in love"

So take the keys, homeless child of mine
And free this lonesome night


Oh, my love
Oh, my love
Oh, my love
Oh, my love
My love, oh

Freedom only walks so far, and I only walk so far in
Freedom only walks so far, and I only walk so far in
Freedom only walks so far, and I only walk so far in
Freedom only walks so far, and I only walk so far

David, you're my only child
My memory, freedom only walks so far in
Oh, David
I only walk so far in
I only walk so far in
Oh, I only walk so far in
I only walk so far in
Oh, I only walk so far in
I only walk so far in
Oh, I only walk so far in
I only walk so far in
Oh, I only walk so far in
I only walk so far in
Oh
