Break In The Chain

(album: Purple House - 2018)

There's been a break in the chain
A sudden break in the motion
This gambler's played to no gain
And drops down into the ocean

Stunned by the loss
And weighing the cost

Baby's taken the train
I watched the leaves as they scattered
Left with only a pain
In place of what mattered

All I could not decide
Has been simplified

If you want me to stay, I will
Tell me stay away, I will
But debts I'll repay
And knots I've tied undo

Walk the tracks of my tears
One line after the other
Crossing lonely frontiers
An arrow thru thunder

I will survive my trial
And maybe in awhile

You'll ask me to stay, and I will
If you tell me stay away, I will
But debts I'll repay
And knots I've tied undo

There's been a break in the chain
A sudden break in the motion
This gambler's played to no gain
And drops down into the ocean

Stunned by the loss
And weighing the cost
