Unbroken Chain
Lyrics: Bobby PetersenMusic: Phil Lesh
Blue light rain, whoa,
unbroken chain
Looking for familiar faces
in an empty window pane
Listening for the secret,
searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher
and the baying of his hounds
Willow sky,
whoa,
I walk and wonder why
They say love your brother
but you will catch it
when you try
Roll you down the line boy,
drop you for a loss
Ride out on a cold railroad
and nail you to a cross
November and more as
I wait for the score
They're telling me
forgiveness is the key to every door
A slow winter day,
a night like forever
Sink like a stone,
float like a feather
Lilac rain,
unbroken chain
Song of the Saw-Whet owl
Out on the mountain
it'll drive you insane
Listening to the winds howl
Unbroken chain
of sorrow and pearls
Unbroken chain
of sky and sea
Unbroken chain
of the western wind
Unbroken chain
of you and me
noooogie kindest of brothers fare thee well
Fare you well, my honey,
fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing are flown,
except you alone.
Going to leave this brokedown palace,
On my hand and knees,
I will roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed in the waterside,
In my time, I will roll, roll roll.
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside
I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs,
to rock my soul.
River going to take me,
sing sweet and safely
Sing me sweet and safely
all the way back home.
It’s a far gone lullaby,
sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds I’ve come since I first left home.
Goin’ home, goin’ home,
by the riverside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs,
to rock my soul.
Going to plant a weeping willow,
On the bank’s green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs,
to rock my soul
