Lyrics

Rusty Chains

All my dreams

I've seen them leave with my old love

No longer near me

Now I am made of rusty chains rattling

Oh let them

Let them break

Whoever does undo these knots

Oh let me claw my way to the front

And be with him

Like that summer

The one we spent before

He was taken from me

So safe

That feeling that is so endless

Oh let me rest

In his arms again

So safe was that feeling

And so endless
