Cold Irons Bound

I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around

Now I'm all used up, and the fields have turned brown

I went to church on Sunday as she passed by

But m love for her is taking such a long time to die

I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist

It's almost like, almost like I don't exist

I'm 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

There's a wall of pride high and wide

Can't see over to the other side

It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay

It's sadder still to feel your heart torn away

One look at you and I'm out of control

Like the universe has swallowed me whole

I'm 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

There's too many people, too many to recall

I thought some of 'em were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'em all

Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud

Up over my head, nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world, found my world in you

But your love just hasn't proved true

I'm 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds

Reality has always had too many heads

I tried to love and protect you because I cared

I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared

Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee

You have no idea what you do to me

I'm 20 miles out of town in cold irons bound

20 miles out of town in cold irons bound
