House of Pain

My love she keeps rolling
Deep as a river
You don't know her
Like I know her
There's a shadow in her eyes
Like a cloud across the sky

Wheels keep on turning
All through the dark night
Till the light comes shining
I see it shining
Down these dirty city streets
That lead me back into your arms

And I feel no shame
In your house of pain
I'll come back again
And watch you cry

And deep as a river
My body is aching
Oh my darling
You're sweeter than sorrow
Take this poisoned cup away
I don't need it anymore

Red lights are flashing
In the wind and rain
This stormy weather
Is clouding my vision
And though my heart
Still aches for you
I can't stay here anymore

We've been holding on
For way too long
Come on, break these chains
And set us free
Set us free

Out on the ocean
Dark ships are sailing
I can hear the sirens
Weeping and wailing
Floating down these empty streets
That lead me back
Into your arms

But I see a vision
Of sweet love and mercy
Shining like heaven
On all of these sorrows
Oh my darling hold me close
We will never meet again

We've been holding on
For way too long
Come on, break these chains
And set us free
Set us free
