Break in the Chain

There's been a break in the chain
A sudden break in the motion
This gambler's played for no gain
And drops down into the ocean
Stunned by the loss
And weighing the cost

Baby's taken the train
Watched the leaves as they scattered
Left with only a pain
In place of what mattered
All I could not decide
Has been simplified

If you want me to stay, I will
Tell me stay away, I will
But debts I'll repay
And knots I've tied undo

Walk the tracks of my tears
One line after the other
Crossing lonely frontiers
An arrow through thunder
I will survive my trial
Maybe in a while

You'll ask me to stay, and I will
Tell me to stay away, I will
But debts I'll repay
And knots I've tied undo

There's been a break in the chain
A sudden break in the motion
This gambler's played to no gain
And drops down into the ocean
Stunned by the loss
And weighing the cost
