I shall be released
They say every man needs protection.
They every man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection,
Somewhere so high above the wall.
I see my light come shining,
>From the west unto the east.
Any day now,
Any day now,
I shall be released.
Well onder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
A man who swears he not to blame.
All day long I hear him cry shouting loud,
Calling out that he's been framed.
I see my light come shining,
>From the west unto the east.
Any day now,
Any day now,
I shall be released.
Be seeing you,
Kelwyn.

He said that's alright babe,
I love you too.
But we were Tangled Up In Blue.
