Dim and wavering
On a wind-blown night
Whose honor, whose anger
Cold and quivering
As was the wind blown night
Into which she'd fallen, fallen

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom, is standing next to you
Well my intentions were clear
I was with him, everyone knew
Poor little fool

Beautiful as you are, with that high spirit
Morning star of evil hit me
Cut me like a knife
Cool and collected
She became that with time
Totally rejected

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom, is standing next to you
Well my intentions were clear
I was with him, everyone knew
Poor little fool

It's all in the eyes
It's all in the way that you look
It's all in the way that you say very little
It's all in the way that you talk

Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen, fallen, fallen

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom, is standing next to you
Well my intentions were clear
I was with him, everyone knew
Poor little fool

Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen (freedom)
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen

Freedom
Freedom
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Poor little fool (freedom)

Come with me
Poor little fool (freedom)

    General Comment
    I understand that one of the inspirations for this song (which appeared on "Behind the Mask" in 1990) was Stevie seeing the word "freedom" painted on the Berlin Wall during the coverage of its opening in November 1989.

    My Interpretation
    It's about a woman escaping an abusive an abusive relationship. The newfound independence she feels leads her into routes of sexual and personal freedom, eventually allowing her to turn the tables on/gloat at the man who once wrecked her life.
