PJ Harvey - Chain of Keys lyrics
[PJ Harvey - Chain of Keys lyrics]
Fifteen keys hang on
Fifteen keys hang on a chain
The chain is joined
The chain is joined and forms a ring
The ring is in the ring is in a woman's hand
She's walking on
She's walking on the dusty ground
The dusty ground's a dead-end track
The neighbours won't be coming back
Fifteen gardens overgrown
Fifteen houses falling down
The woman's old
The woman's old and dressed in black
She keeps her hands
She keeps her hands behind her back
Imagine what imagine what her eyes have seen
We ask but she
We ask but she won't let us in
A key so simple and so small
How can it mean no chance at all?
A key, a promise, or a wish
How can it mean such hopelessness?
"A circle is broken", she says
"A circle is broken", she says
Fifteen keys hang on a chain
The chain is joined
The chain is joined and forms a ring
The ring is in the ring is in a woman's hand
She's walking on
She's walking on the dusty ground
The dusty ground's a dead-end track
The neighbours won't be coming back
Fifteen gardens overgrown
Fifteen houses falling down
The woman's old
The woman's old and dressed in black
She keeps her hands
She keeps her hands behind her back
Imagine what imagine what her eyes have seen
We ask but she
We ask but she won't let us in
A key so simple and so small
How can it mean no chance at all?
A key, a promise, or a wish
How can it mean such hopelessness?
"A circle is broken", she says
"A circle is broken", she says
