Lyrics: Tim Bluhm?
Music: Tim Bluhm?
Sung by Tim Bluhm and Scott Law with Phil Lesh and Friends in 2016. I don't know much about the song, exccept that
Tim Bluhm and Scott Law have also performed it in an acoustic duet.
First time I fell down it was my mama who was there to pick me up
First time that I cussed it was my mama there, trying not to blush
The first time I went swimming my mum again was with me, held my little body in the chill
First time I caught a lizard, it was mama there to teach me not to kill
Ooo-wee, the wind is chilly, all those critters in the bushes hunkered down
Ooo-wee, to be free is to be lonely, to be lonely's to be free
First time that I hit trouble, I mean trouble built for haunted, blue-eyed man
I knew she knew the depth of it, but I didn't know she could understand
First time that I went away, I stayed away for years, didn't let myself think of going home
It was the first time that I realised each of us is truly all alone
Ooo-wee, the wind is chilly, all those critters in the bushes hunkered down
Ooo-wee, to be free is to be lonely, to be lonely's to be free
Ooo-wee, the wind is chilly, all those critters in the bushes hunkered down
Ooo-wee, to be free is to be lonely, to be lonely's to be free
To be free (to be lonely, to be free)
To be free (to be lonely, to be free)
To be free (to be lonely, to be free)
