Soul In Chains
I see the time is coming and
I see the darkness running and
I hear your footsteps calling
I see your dark hair falling down
Cut it all off if you want to, but before you go…
Let me see that golden glow
One more time and forget the past
The stone clad streets that pave my heart
And to lead sadness free from rain
Free from joy and pain
You’re so proud, you beautiful thing
When I love you, you feel no pain
Your spirit is free but your soul’s in chains
Your spirit is free but your soul’s in chains
I’ve never known anyone take such care
Of all that love you’ll never share
You’re much more beautiful than you’ll ever know
Except for the chains around your soul
Couldn’t it be one day we could hold each other
And forget for a while and you’d open my eyes
And you’d still be there with an open smile
You do know how you get in my head
Sat here smiling on the edge of your bed
All of a sudden we’re playing this game
I lose, you win but your soul’s in chains
My blood runs hot and I want you now
Ride that river until we drown
Wander freely in your mind
Leave all of our chains behind
But you won’t do it you won’t play
Except in your decided way
You won’t risk the slightest pain
One day you’ll recall me saying
There’s no joy and there’s no pain
When your lonely soul is in chains
