Sitting here beside the fire,
you're sleeping like a child
warm from our love, but in my mind
there's something wrong,
I can't go on.
At the age of twenty-nine,
I feel that I've resigned,
no reason to live, slowly dying,
caught in the cage
our love has made.
Love's the jailor in my life
Love's twisting knife
is tearing my heart apart,
love's the chains that tie me down,
in love you'll drown
it's just like a stone
so strong (love is a jailor)
so strong, love's a jailor.
Can it be in all these years
there's nothing I've achieved
no challenge has come, just deep inside
a burning pain,
to make a change.
Tell me what I have to do
should I turn and walk away
and leave you alone, leave you crying,
I'd never go,
and hurt you so.
