Unbroken Chain (Studio Acoustic Demo) The Grateful Dead

Blue light rain, unbroken chain
Looking for familiar faces in an empty window pane

Listening for the secret, searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher and the baying of his hounds

Willow sky, I walk and wonder why
They say love your brother, but you will get it if you try

Roll you down the line, boy, drop you for a loss
Ride you down on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross

November and more, as I wait for the score
They tell me forgiveness is the key to every door
A slow winter day, a night like forever
Sink like a stone, float like a feather

[Instrumental break]

Lilac rain, unbroken chain
Song of the sawhet owl
Oh, out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane
Listening to the wind howl

Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls
Unbroken chain of the sea
Unbroken chain of the western wind
Unbroken chain of you and me
