Lyrics

Can't You Feel The Chains?

written by L. Arthur Nichols, Dave Perkins and Steve Taylor
Copyright © 1991 MCA Publishing/GMMI/Sadoshrimp (ASCAP)

Pressing crowds and passengers
Waiting by the carousel
Will your bags remind you of home
And who you've left in hell?

I can't take the thought of you here
I can't put you out
Close your eyes and look at me here
Across the miles
Look at me

Can't you feel the chains
Feel the chains?
Can't you hear a voice
Behind the quiet?
Can't you feel the chains
Feel the chains?
That keep us bound forever,
Love

And my mind is like a whetstone now
Sharpening things to throw
Who or what could pull you this far?
And how far did you go?

I can't take the look of this place
You can't trust the ones you trust
And as you turn to treason now
My hands are tied
Look at me

Can't you feel the chains
Feel the chains?
Can't you hear a voice
Behind the quiet?
Can't you feel the chains
Feel the chains?
That keep us bound for life,
My love
