Music: D Petersen / Words: J. H. Harrison
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
Chorus:
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 so strong
Love's the 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
Chorus
