cradle chain lyrics

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
