She was at the height of the women's liberation dear
But not the kind that you might think about
She was never scared at what women too often fear
Said yes when a man would ask her out

Never took full advantage of her attitude
Her smile was always genuine
Left alone the expensive grub on the menu
Always lived and loved the best in life

She was liberated of all the cares
That seem to drag most women off
Take all the time you want to stop and stare
She didn't care what other people thought

Never really worried about her weight
Or the style of clothes that she had on
Knew that really wasn't how she was made
No that wasn't how she was made at all

Sugar and spice and all that's nice was fine by her
With a touch of sour if you rubbed her wrong
Though on a dime she could turn with a kind word
For a poor soul who didn't play along

She was liberated of all the cares
That seem to drag most women off
Knew that attitude would get her nowhere
So she didn't care what other people thought

have you ever heard
the sound
of a body bag
being zipped up
from the inside

have you ever seen
the shadows fall
that makes
the spine tingle
that makes
the skin crawl

have you ever felt
you would
suffocate
from the canvas weight
flat on your face

can anyone
of you relate
to the smell
of the fear
with its
bitter taste

I love the way
we used to swing the moon
In those days it's all
that we would want to do
When all we had
was love upon our minds
With nothing else
to occupy our time

I loved the way
that you would look at me
As if to say
I was all you'd ever need
When love was a promise
that held tight to the truth
When love was all
that we cared to do

I love the way
you bring me to the point
Where you're still all
that I will ever want
Like in the days for heavens sake
I still cling to the tune
Of all I want to do
is swing the moon with you
