Golden chains
Outside my window
All I do is wait
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame
When the world just passes by
It ain't gonna change
The way the wind blows
But it ain't gonna stay the same
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame
When the world just passes by
You were born with a sigh, learned how to cry
Forever followed that tear in your eye
Won’t you come outside and see the sun
But you’re already broken ‘fore the day is done
So you sit and and you wait, and you try to remain
Oh so deaf and so blind to that southbound train
And you can’t for the life of you
Recall if things were better when you weren't so high
Golden chains
Outside my window
All I do is wait
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame
When the world just passes by
It ain't gonna change
The way the wind blows
But it ain't gonna stay the same
Ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
Ain't it a shame (ain't it a shame)
When the world just passes by
When the world just passes by
When the world just passes by

The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
