Silver Chain
Fear and self loathingForged a chain of silver oreBy the time I stop singingYou won't love me anymoreI ran to the riverCrying, "river cure me"But the river just laughedWashing sand over meGirl child your daddy'sSilver chain's nine miles longFrom every link of that chainHangs a heart he has wrongedLittle girl take the lengthOf your father's bright chainAnd bind me to youI don't care what you doI ran to the fire"Fire purify me"The fire licked my skinBut it did not set me freeI turned to the bottle"Alcohol cure meLet me sleep without dreaming"Alcohol lied to meLetras de cancionesGirl child your daddy'sSilver chain's nine miles longFrom every link of that chainHangs a heart he has wrongedLittle girl take the lengthOf your father's bright chainAnd bind me to youI don't care what you doI spoke to the forestI spoke to the treesI spoke to the riverBut it did not speak to meI carved your nameIn the cypress tree barkI tattooed your nameIn a ring round my heartI wore out my welcomeI wore out myselfI wore out my reasonI wore out my healthI forgot my nameOn the day that you came...Girl child your daddy'sSilver chain's nine miles longFrom every link of that chainHangs a heart he has wrongedLittle girl take the lengthOf your father's bright chainAnd bind me to youI don't care what you do From Letras Mania
