[Verse 1]
Was we ever so young?
We were tripping into town
Right there where Canongate meets up
With the dirty little side street
I can't remember much though I
Know we did like to shoplift
We knew our lives stretched up to the stars
And we were the masters of the universe
[Verse 2]
Were we ever really that smart?
How did we come this far?
We would go skipping over the Heart
Over the city that shaped us
We would go leaping into the arms
Of anything that scared us
So long before we learned the law
Fearless and stupid and reckless and...
[Chorus]
Free
We were free
So free
We were free
[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I was a witness to your love
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I was a witness to your love
To your love
[Chorus]
Free
We were free
So free
We were free
We were so free
A witness to your love
We were so free
A witness to your love
We were so free
A witness to your love
We were so free
We were so free
[Outro]
You're on patrol for me
I'm on patrol for you
You're on patrol for me
I'm on patrol for you
