Movable Barres Blues
1. As I lie in this cold prison cell and think of
all the deeds that I ve done, All the stories
and the tales I could tell of how to this place
Ive come In this place without laughter or hope
I dread the future might bring, And a lump rises
up in my throat, my voice begins to sing.
CHORUS These bars that wont let me/us go These
bars that wont let me/us go by One day theyll
melt like snow I/well sing and I/well dance and
I/well fly.
2. And I think of all the people Ive harmed and
never expressed regret And I know Ill never be
calm until I can repay my debt And my fingers
and toes start to move, my body begins to
sway, And I know Ive got something to prove as I
dance in this way.
Lyrics by Alan Clarke
3. But one day Ill be free from this cell, one
day Ive served out my time, Though the number
that they gave me will tell Im never free from
my crime Not free but the pain will recede, my
life begins to repair And show others how much we
all need song and dance in the air.
