Flatlanders - Loves Own Chains Lyrics

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
