about

Ein ironischer Lovesong über das Verlassenwerden. Sie macht Schluss mit ihm. Nun ist er frei wie ein Vogel und kann hingehen, wohin und mit wem und wann er will. Nur nicht dahin, wohin er eigentlich möchte. - Steve Skaith hat den Song vor vielen Jahren geschrieben. Er sollte auf ein früheres Album, aber der Song kam deshalb nicht für ihn in Frage, weil kurz zuvor die Beatles als virtuelle Wiedervereinigung einen Song mit eben diesem Titel veröffentlicht hatten. Einer der leichteren Songs, denn auch Latin Quarter wollen nicht immer nur die Welt retten.

lyrics

Free as Bird
(Skaith)

Here we go again
She’s got something that she wants to talk about.
I can guess
Cos I can see that look in her eyes
There’s a new guy it seems
They’ve been doing more than hanging out
And she asks ‘Don’t I, don’t I too feel something’s gone wrong?’
And I say ‘No
Oh please don’t go’.

I can go out tonight I am free as a bird
Do anything I like I am free as a bird
With anyone I like I am free as a bird
I just can’t fly back to her
I just can’t fly back to her.

Don’t it always seem
The moment the star is shining brightest
That’s when they end the dream
Maybe it’s just me who got it wrong again
But I don’t want
I don’t want this thing to just slip away
Cos love like this don’t grow on trees
No matter what my friends say
I say ‘No
Oh please don’t go.’

Free as Bird (Skaith)

Here we go again
She’s got something that she wants to talk about.
I can guess
Cos I can see that look in her eyes
There’s a new guy it seems
They’ve been doing more than hanging out
And she asks ‘Don’t I, don’t I too feel something’s gone wrong?’
And I say ‘No
Oh please don’t go’.

I can go out tonight I am free as a bird
Do anything I like I am free as a bird
With anyone I like I am free as a bird
I just can’t fly back to her
I just can’t fly back to her.

Don’t it always seem
The moment the star is shining brightest
That’s when they end the dream
Maybe it’s just me who got it wrong again
But I don’t want
I don’t want this thing to just slip away
Cos love like this don’t grow on trees
No matter what my friends say
I say ‘No
Oh please don’t go.’
