Fear and self loathing Forged a chain of silver ore By the time I stop singing You won't love me anymore I ran to the river Crying, ""river cure me"" But the river just laughed Washing sand over me Girl child your daddy's Silver chain's nine miles long From every link of that chain Hangs a heart he has wronged Little girl take the length Of your father's bright chain And bind me to you I don't care what you do I ran to the fire ""Fire purify me"" The fire licked my skin But it did not set me free I turned to the bottle ""Alcohol cure me Let me sleep without dreaming"" Alcohol lied to me Girl child your daddy's Silver chain's nine miles long From every link of that chain Hangs a heart he has wronged Little girl take the length Of your father's bright chain And bind me to you I don't care what you do I spoke to the forest I spoke to the trees I spoke to the river But it did not speak to me I carved your name In the cypress tree bark I tattooed your name In a ring round my heart I wore out my welcome I wore out myself I wore out my reason I wore out my health I forgot my name On the day that you came... Girl child your daddy's Silver chain's nine miles long From every link of that chain Hangs a heart he has wronged Little girl take the length Of your father's bright chain And bind me to you I don't care what you do
