Coming over mountains

the pale beside the wall between us now

since I refuse to play alone

it's always been another

to do the damage you live everyday

and leave you cursing for escape



Each day I see a ball and chain

grow a little more in grain

and watch your corner pain

say'in nothing

nothing's gonna change

why is the world so damn unkind

to one so righteous in her mind

the sun won't rise and shine

will you never find your peace of mind



My father couldn't bother

to play the kind of role the job required

instead of trying he retired

what so much here to conquer

to feel a long while so-called friends don't phone

you know the pain is not their own



Each day I see a ball and chain

grow a little more in grain

and watch your corner pain

say'in nothing

nothing's gonna change

why is the world so damn unkind

to one so righteous in her mind

the sun won't rise and shine

will you never find your peace of mind



Coming over mountains

to feel the tension hiding in these walls

you see a trace of spirit fall

my father couldn't bother

but now he's back to find his place again

sorry but the book's been burned



Each day I see a ball and chain

grow a little more in grain

and watch your corner pain

say'in nothing

nothing's gonna change

why is the world so damn unkind

to one so righteous in her mind

the sun won't rise and shine

will you never find your peace of mind



your peace of mind

your peace of mind
