The Chain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Over highway, seaway and skyway
Got to be always on the move
Come December will you remember
Whatever it is you're trying to prove?
No regretting, only forgetting
Pastures new pass by in main
So you wander, heart growing fonder
Where does it go, this nowhere chain?
CHORUS :
If you leave, wherever you travel
Looking for sunbeams in the rain
You just weave and never unravel
Forget-me-nots in the chain of love
Empty faces, sad embraces
Lonely ago but only find
Makes no difference keeping your distance
You are the one you've left behind
CHORUS
Tell me that you're leaving
Leaving home is only returning
CHORUS TO FADE
