Artist  : Neil Diamond 
Song : Open Wide These Prison Doors
 


Written by: Neil Diamond and Stewart
Harris

Tied by love to you, but I was tied
too strong
Still I'm afraid of knowing what
leaving means
I know I lived for you, and all
I tried to do
You were the keeper of my
dreams

Open wide these prison
doors
Take these chains from around my
heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And
don't mind when I depart
Need to find another
place
Where love is not just tossed away
If
you really care for me
Open wide these prison
doors
And set me free

You were always
caring, always warm and kind
But that was long
ago, when love was blind
And I don't want to
hurt you, the way that I've been hurt
But if I
stay I'll lose my mind

Open wide these
prison doors
Take these chains from around my
heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And
don't mind when I depart
Need to find another
place
Where love is not just tossed away
If
you really care for me
Open wide these prison
doors
And set me free

Time is always
moving
While we're here standing still
I
love you even though I'm leaving
And maybe I
always will

But, open wide these prison
doors
Take these chains from around my
heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And
don't mind when I depart
Need to find another
place
Where love is not just tossed
away
And if you really care for me
Open
wide these prison doors
And set me
free

If you really care for me
Open
wide these prison doors
And set me
free

Set me free, yeah
Come on and set
me free
Set me free
