BALL AND CHAIN
You were lost and drowning
You were washed aground and
Things ain't never been the same
Since the lights went out you've
Been so full of doubt and
Trying hard to fire the flame again
And you rolled in
And you stumbled in,
So blue, dragged down
By a ball and chain
With hands sore and chaffed, you've
Been trying to scale that
Cold prison wall so high
And with a pain unspoken
And a heart so broken
You search for a reason why
And you rolled in
And you stumbled in,
So blue, dragged down
By a ball and chain
And in the depths of slumber
You can't count the number
Of times you felt afraid
Another day and night goes by
With no sun above the sky
And your weary spirit's aching
And you rolled in
And you stumbled in,
So blue, dragged down
By a ball and chain
And you rolled in
And you stumbled in,
So blue, dragged down
By a ball and chain
