Cradle Chain Lyrics - Candy From A Stranger - Soul Asylum

It's a shame you're not here 

On the cross, in my ear 

Hearing things loud and clear 

Come outside have no fear 

And clear the smoke, get some fresh air 

Someone waits, someone cares 

In the broad light of day 

Trouble seems so far away 

And at the top of the day 

When the reign sways 

Lose the cradle chain 

Give it up, give it a name 

The child that remains 

Nothing's lost, take these chains 

Take them away 

Please don't ask me how I am 

A little tired, little scared 

I'm not amused, not upset 

Don't need a leash, I'm not your pet 

So loosen up, feel the breeze 

Let me hear, hear you breathe 

It's better than, bitter now 

When you breathe I love that sound 

But you know I'll look after 

You like no one 

Lose the cradle chain 

Give it up, give it a name 

The child that remains 

Nothing's lost, take these chains 

Take them away 

If I die before I wake 

Light a fuse, bake a cake 

I don't mind if I go 

Make it quick, don't be slow 

But you know I'll remember 

You like no one 

Lose the cradle chain 

Give it up, give it a name 

The smile that remains 

Will take these chains away
