Break in the Chain - Robben Ford

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

Baby’s taken the train

I 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 thru thunder

I will survive my trial

Maybe in awhile

You’ll ask me to stay, and I will

If you tell me stay away, I will

But debts I’ll repay

And knots I’ve tied undo

Yeah, 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

Staggered by the loss

And weighing the cost
