Chain

When I got your note bits of my mind hit the floor Walked in the park read it once more Here is an answer in soft spoken words Hope it comes down smooth like a landing of birds This business of love carries weight My heart draws a line on this side of the gate Music seems distant when I replay the past Found my place in the chain fear it won’t last History won’t stay in its lane It’s no longer the dog who can shake off the rain I feared my chain might break with time Still I’m finding my way holding a place in the line My daughter and I leave tonight for Tennessee There’s a concert that she just has to see We ‘ll pass the mountain where his wish lost its star We’ll never know what the radio played in the car I feared my chain might break with time Still I’m finding my way holding a place in the line
