Been Set Free - Son Volt

I am the voice of Lilli Schull

Muffled since nineteen three

When my lover became my murderer

And burned the flesh off of me

My life’s been a burden

Now I’m going home

I’ve been loaded down

Now I’ve been set free

Never saw my child

Nor heard her little heart pound

Ten minutes turned blood cold

And I leave this earthly ground

My life’s been a burden

Now I’m going home

I’ve been loaded down

Now I’ve been set free

Farewell family, everyone I’ve known

I lived within you but I rest alone

May my leaving not be in vain

Carry on, believe in, remember my name

My life’s been a burden

Now I’m going home

I’ve been loaded down

Now I’ve been set free
