Tindersticks - Turned My Back Lyrics

This freedom
This freedom
This freedom
Walkin' alone

Turned my back on jail, I turned my back on jail
I turned my back on us and them
Turned my back on what I couldn't hold
I turned my back and struck out on my own
I turned my back and I started walking

This freedom
Feelin' lucky
This freedom
Goin' nowhere
This freedom
Just walkin' alone

Good-time Charlie stripped me to the bone
I wanted it and I let him
Take my shoes and throw me out in the cold
Into a place where there was no night or day
There was no manna or quail or nothin'
Couldn't find a bed, don't know where I am
I don't know where the f*ck I am now

This freedom
Feelin' lucky
This freedom
Goin' nowhere
This freedom
Just walkin' alone

I was trying to hold on to the good things
I was trying to hold on to believing
I held it in my hands, trembling
I held it in my hands
I held it in my hands when the storm was breaking

This freedom
Feelin' lucky
This freedom
Goin' nowhere
This freedom
Just walkin' alone
This freedom
Maybe this time
This freedom
I could make it
This freedom
Trying to find my way home

If I offered you a brand new morning (feeling lucky)
If I offered you a brand new day (going nowhere)
If I offered you a brand new morning
Would you take it? (I turned my back on, I turned my back on)
If I offered you a brand new morning (maybe this time)
If I offered you a brand new day (I can make it)
If I offered you a brand new morning
Would you take it? Would you take it? (I turned my back on, I turned my back on)
If I offered you a brand new morning (I turned my back on looking)
If I offered you a brand new day (I turned my back on finding)
If I offered you a brand new morning (I turned my back on searching)
Would you take it? (I turned my back on, I turned my back on)
If I offered you a brand new morning (I turned my back on)
If I offered you a brand new day (turned my back on the light to save the feeling)
If I offered you a brand new morning (turned my back on the night to save the feeling)
(I turned my back on, I turned my back on)
