Churches to my left
Churches to my right
The drunks climb the steeples
And curse the bitter night
As I break through the crowds
Who try to shout them down
I think about the only place I want to be right now
So home to my Silver Princess
An oath to honour and obey
I'll sit with her in silence
To keep the past at bay
Faces that I know
Faces that I've been
They're lining up again
To be taken by the street
And in their fallen eyes
I see my only friend
Who'll see me through my days
Right til the bitter end
No matter what has been
No matter what has past
I'll never break these chains
That hold me to her heart
She'll take me by the hand
And send me on my way
To rest upon the night
And live to fight another day
She does her best to claim me
To keep me as her own
To pacify and tame me
And keep me
Here at home
