Chain Songtext
von Chris Whitley

I want to break
The ring it lasts
Watch it fill
With the past
All I could hear
From out the sound of a chain
That goes around and around it goes


Why do we
Think of it
How all them years
Go flashing by
Unaware
You pass it down
Like a chain
It goes around and around it goes

Have we strayed on now
To and fro
Now the shame somehow
Traced it all
As the child
Rehearse the sound
Of a chain
That goes around and around it goes
