Don't Lock'em Away (Song for Molly)

Girl, I've seen you drift away to another place and time

And in those dreams you leave this old world behind

Yeah, I know how hard you've been trying

In a world that you just ain't buying

All your dreams, so far away now

Drifting off with the rest of your yesterdays, some how

Yeah, I know it's hard to keep on fighting

'Cause I'm a guy who gave up trying

Oh, no, just put 'em in your pocket

Don't lock 'em away

I know you think your heart can't take it

But there will come a new day

Never mind these old streets, these dusty avenues

Never mind the things they might say about you

They can talk but they can never ever hurt you

They can never take your dreams away from you

Someday you will be far from here

And all your troubles will have disappeared

When you go, girl, don't worry about me

Yeah, it's time now to set yourself free

Oh, no, just put 'em in your pocket

Don't lock 'em away

I know you think your heart can't take it

But there will come a new day

Oh, no, don't lock 'em away

Oh, no, don't lock 'em away
