Peter Trewavas - These Chains lyrics

Everything crashed His wife left him He lost all his money And most of his friends He lay awake all night Lonely and desperate Contemplating starting again These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable Four in the morning Sat in the kitchen Keys on the table Went out for a drive He didn't know Where he was going Didn't know If he was alive The dawn was breaking A new day was rising Shadows creepin' over the fields He watched the pink light Steal across the horizon He realised He saw with new eyes These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable This cage was never locked Born free but scared to be This cage was made for you With care and constant attention This cage is safe and warm Will you die and never know what it's like Outside
