James Taylor - Sleep Come Free Me Lyrics
Well, I've been lying in this dungeon since I was eighteen.
Ten lonely years of my life taken, I've been living in the pages of a magazine.
It breaks my heart to awaken.
Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.
I remember I was there with a tire iron in my hand, the rest is all confusion.
Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.
More like an animal and less like a man, what they leave you ain't worth keeping.
Brother let me tell you, I got a clock with no hands, the only way out is through sleeping.
Set me free, sleep come free me, please, please, please. Set me free, set me free.
You get to where you used to be, whoever you claim, it's open to interpretation.
Just remember your number and abandon your name,
and hold on to your name and hold on to your imagination, oh no no.

Bellissimo questo pezzo del maestro James Taylor
The writing, vocal performance, musicianship, production -- JT at his finest. This song is as good as it gets. For 40 years I have been curious if he was attempting to make a social statement with this song. As for me, if a guy is confused about what happened between holding a tire iron and committing murder, I certainly wouldn't want him set free and back out on the street -- just sayin'.
It is hard to listen to this song. It's so heartbreaking.
Best ever i have heard pouring his heart out for us absolutely brilliant as far as I'm concerned
Taylor has amazing talent.for writting.
This sounds a lot like something Glenn Frey could have written for the Desperado LP. Imagine Henley's vocal for this.
great song thanks for sharing. James Taylor is so talented and so is his band. They've got the most melodic chords and harmonies you can find
Yep, I've always thought this song is terrific as well.
