Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up
Now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
And deep
As the sea
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.

Remember when we first met
And everything was still a bet
In love's game
You would call; I'd call you back
And then I'd leave
A message
On your answering
Machine

But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom, freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

We're made out of blood and rust
Looking for someone to trust
Without
A fight
I think that you came too soon
You're the honey and the moon
That lights
Up my night

But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish that I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

We got too much time to kill
Like pigeons on my windowsill
We hang around

Ever since I've been with you
You hold me up
All the time I'm falling down

But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish i could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

I agree.   Politics has been in art, music and entertainment since..i don't know..Aeschylus, Aristophanes, etc.  (Lysistrata anyone..)

Today's snowflakes are just too sensitive to hear opinions different from their own and start their endless whinging about politics and cry out for censorship and cancellation.  Music can be a powerful mover for change - consider all the pro-labor songs during the labor conflicts that consumed the period between 1870s-1930s.  There would be no Woodie Guthrie, etc. without those!

Are you serioiusly suggesting an equivalence between Woodie Guthrie's songs of social conscience, which were calls to arms against the oppression of the powerless, and a complete and utter bellend using his platform to blather dumb conspiracy theories, and completely ascientific and potentially dangerous drivel?

I wish I could separate Music and Politics, as I think Joseph Arthur made some great songs. But knowing about his loud expressions against vaccinations and linking Covid19 to Nazi's and 5G, kind of ruined it.  What a shame.

Arthur first commented publicly on his beliefs related to Covid-19 in April 2020. He stated that Anthony Fauci should be imprisoned and later referred to those that endorse the Covid-19 vaccinations to Nazis. His manager, booking agent, and record label severed their associations with Arthur in 2021. New West Records also declined to release an album he recorded with Peter Buck.[44]

Despite the general "don't mix politics with music comments" push, I appreciate that the "anti-vax" claims were made on this board as I didn't know Mr. Arthur had been so vocal about this.

I FULLY support these discussions, finding censorship to be one of the worst things to come from this entire pandemic situation. 

LLRP and not being censored!

Proof that artists (or anyone) should not make strong statements about things they don't understand:

Arthur identifies as Christian. He champions fitness, wellness, but also pseudoscientific homeopathic remedies. He and his girlfriend, Anna Sophia, have one daughter, Alessia, who was born in July 2021. They have a 29-year age gap.[44]

Arthur first commented publicly on his beliefs related to Covid-19 in April 2020. He stated that Anthony Fauci should be imprisoned and later referred to those that endorse the Covid-19 vaccinations to Nazis.

Great segue from Dave Matthews to Michael Hedge to this. I appreciate this especially when I don't really care for a single song (DM for example).  The grouping makes sense.  That's why I stick around. Great work Bill and Rebecca!

This is one of Joseph Arthur's finest albums, if not is best overall.  I love the fact that he takes chances and mixes up his style so much between albums.  Joseph Arthur is one of those artists that will be a joy to discover for new listeners because he has a rich and varied back catalog to dig into over time.  I was lucky to discover him when his first album was released (by way of his Peter Gabriel connection).

It was also on the show "Scrubs", as was Joseph Arthur's other song "In the Sun". "Scrubs" has some great music on it, in my opinion.

I have made a "channel" on Pandora.com for Joseph Arthur and it's fabulous. I have to agree. This song has gotten deeply into my psyche. It's one of the greatest songs I've heard in the last 5 or 10 years. I made some revisions to the Wikipedia entry for Joseph Arthur regarding Without a Trace (see my earlier entry). Sorry...this is probably the only time I have ever made more than one entry on the same song here at RP.

Totally agree.... I've really been enjoying this lately here at RP p.s. nice thing about slightly hokey phrases is that they are catchy and memorable......and easy to sing along ! Possibly great audience participation number. Will have to check it out if he plays Vancouver.
