Analysis of Swing Free

J B Gaines 1977 (Chicago)



I could Live in your arms,
with no safety net.
I could Dream in your eyes,
create a Future we both recognize.
I'm fallin', you're fallin',
don't look down, lest you lose your step,
swing free, my Darling Love, with me,
swing free.
Fallin' with me.
Swing free
