Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Blue light rain) Well, unbroken chain
Lookin' for familiar faces in an empty window pane
Listenin' for the secret, searchin' for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher and the bayin' of his hounds
[Verse 2]
Willow sky, well, I walk and wonder why
They say love your brother, but you will catch it when you try
Roll you down the line, boy, drop you for a loss
Ride you out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross
[Verse 3]
November and more as I wait for the score
They're tellin' me forgiveness is the key to every door
A slow winter day, a night like forever
Sink like a stone, float like a feather
[Verse 4]
Lilac rain, unbroken chain, song of the saw-whet owl
Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane listenin' to the winds howl
Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls
Unbroken chain of sky and sea
Unbroken chain of the western wind
Unbroken chain of you and me
[Verse 5]
La, la, da, da
La, da, da, da
La, da, da, da
La, da, ba, da, la
