The Prisoner Lyrics - Singles - Kris Kristofferson

Thanking you for openining my eyes so clear, sweeping old illusions from my soul 

But most of all for turning something simple and sincere 

Into somethin' jaded and as jive as rock and roll 

Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word 

That I've made up to make you ill at ease 

I fought to free you from your castle of despair, 'til I saw the prisoner wall was me 

See the soul who calls itself a prisoner 'cause it's still too frightened to be free 

I feel so much older now and wiser, ain't it sad how lonesome that can be 

Ain't you always looked...
