Son Volt — Been Set Free lyrics

I am the voice of Lilli Schull
Muffled since nineteen three [unverified]
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 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
