Silken chains So long ago we were so young and gave no thought to what might be forever seemed so very clear we were so sure of what would be so many days we did dance so many nights in joy were passed and years did pass so slowly by with little change by us seen and yet somehow a day did come where change did come so suddenly tomorrow now we could see and that our end it would bring days of fear now we know and nightmares do fill our nights yet so slow the days do pass grow into weeks and months too and now somehow we would flee to run away to another day yet words do tie us and promises were made and from them we cannot flee the dark of night is growing near and we do it’s coming fear and yet somehow we too can see another dawn another day and for it we do long and it too we would flee yet we cannot forget the days when we were young could not see today though we have lost what we once knew those days are lost and night has come the love we knew still does blind till does pass the coming night
