Love's Own Chains - The Flatlanders

My mind can’t rest, I await the day

I turn and toss the night away

I hear my heart crawl through my veins

There’s no relief from loves own chains

Just like the winds that rule the skies

No one can bend the bind that ties

The more they try the more in vain

Love must be free from love’s own chains

Oh what a fool I’ve always been

Free on the outside and chained within

How can it be, can you explain?

How to be free from love’s own chains

The rooster crows, the wild bird sings

I wonder what the day will bring

The faucet leaks, the sink is stained

There’s no relief from loves own chains

From love’s own chains, love’s own chains

Love must be free from love’s own chains
