Hobble Chains Lyrics - Singles - Tania Kernaghan

I'll be home soon enough he said 

And kissed my cheek too lightly 

Then he sprang into the saddle 

And set my heart to beating wildly 

My love was but a lad back then 

And when his Irish blood was up 

I daren't hold him from the world outside 

A slab and shingled hut 

CHORUS 1 

So the sad refrain of hoof beats echoed over the plains 

And the eerie fading chime of hobble chains 

Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days 

'Til I hear those hoof beats echo home and the chime of hobble chains 

Now in the dimming hours 

When I lay down alone 

I long to see his shadow 

In the hearths dying glow 

And I strain to hear him riding 

Through the moonlit iron bark 

My weary heart is haunted 

For too long we've been apart 

CHORUS 2 

And the sad refrain of hoof beats echo over the plains 

And the eerie fading chime of hobble chains 

Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days 

'Til I hear those hoof beats echo home and the chime of hobble chains 

Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days 

'Til I hear those hoof beats echo home the chime of hobble chains
