Unbroken Chain

(album: From The Mars Hotel - 1974)

Blue light rain, whoa unbroken chain
Looking for familiar faces in an empty window pane

Listening for the secret, searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher and the baying of his hounds

Willow sky, whoa, I walk and wonder why
They say love your brother, but you will catch it when you try

Roll you down the line boy, drop you for a loss
Ride you out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross

November and more, as I wait for the score
They're telling me forgiveness is the key to every door
A slow winter day, a night like forever
Sink like a stone, float like a feather

[Instrumental]

Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the Saw-Whet owl
Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane, Listening to the winds howl

Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of sky and sea
Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me
