Chains, Chains, Chains from the album Elvis Perkins in Dearland.


                                                
Whose eyes are those too fair to be but the night in day´s clothes
                                                
Speak speak it I beg if you know it just say it plain
            
Lorraine´s
                                    
What thing is this at my feet at my heart at my wrists
                                                
If you know anything I´ll have to insist that you explain
                                    
Chains chains chains chains chains

Horn Solo:     

                             
What am I if bound to walk in chains ´til I die
                                                
Reaching wildly out to the sky with no particular aim
               
A flame and all aflame
                                      
What are these put my mind out to deep deep seas
                                                                       
I won´t see the forest I won´t see the trees ´til they´re gone with the flame
     
Names name
                                                               
Whose eyes are those ought to be careful or simply keep them closed
                                              
I see them now wherever I go set to the solemn refrain:
                                              
Chains Chains     Chains chains chains chains chains
