The Hollies

I Shall Be Released

(Bob Dylan)

Track 5 on album 'Hollies Sing Dylan' May 1969



They say every thing must be replaced

They say every distance is not near

Yet I remember every face

of every man who put me here



I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any way now

I shall be released



They say every man needs protection

They say that every man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

somewhere so high above this wall



I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any way now

I shall be released



Standin next to me in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

All day long I hear him shoutin so loud

Cryin' out that he was framed



chorus



Any day now, any way now

I shall be released
