Link of Chain - Dave Alvin

Can’t you see?

I can’t explain

I’m a little like a link of chain

Just a ring around another

Runnin' in and out again

Fly me on a kite line

Smilin' like a gold mine

I don’t need to do right

Go to the end

That’ll do to hold me tonight

Mornin' rain, make it soon

Just a little in the afternoon

To hold me like a mother

Hang me on the evenin' moon

Set me on a low one

Show me how to go one

More whenever I finally decide

Go to the end

And take it along for the ride

Well I ain’t got long

I leave 'fore day

And I never had a lot to say

Tell me like a brother

Do we throw it all away

Sittin' on the side line

Foolin' with a fine mind

Never need to know the desire

Go to the end

Play it right down to the wire

Go to the end

Play it right down to the wire

Can’t you see?

I can’t explain

I’m a little like a link of chain

Just a ring around another

Runnin' in and out again

Runnin' in and out again

Runnin' in and out again
