What I would give to sip you all day and all night You numb this old body and make it tingle with delight. I'm a woman, both strong and proud And yet I cling to you, my darling, the keeper of my shroud. Oh shine on me, moonshine And smile that glorious smile Encapsulate me in your arms And let us reminisce for a while With you I am free 'Bout as free as these dazed eyes can see. Oh Lord, I think you’ve got your grips in me I love you, babe, because, to me, you are liberty Oh but not just that—no, don’t let me sell you short I love you for your courage, honey For I am the most dependent sort

A Toast to Liberty
What I would give to sip you all day and all night You numb this old body and make it tingle with delight. I'm a woman, both strong and proud And yet I cling to you, my darling, the keeper of my shroud. Oh shine on me, moonshine And smile that glorious smile Encapsulate me in your arms And let us reminisce for a while With you I am free 'Bout as free as these dazed eyes can see. Oh Lord, I think you’ve got your grips in me I love you, babe, because, to me, you are liberty Oh but not just that—no, don’t let me sell you short I love you for your courage, honey For I am the most dependent sort
