Prine, John - Bruised Orange (Chain Of Sorrow) Lyrics






My heart's in the ice house come hill or come valley
Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley
On a cold winter's morning to a church house
Just to shovel some snow.

I heard sirens on the train track howl naked gettin' nuder,
An altar boy's been hit by a local commuter
Just from walking with his back turned
To the train that was coming so slow.

You can gaze out the window get mad and get madder,
Throw your hands in the air, say "What does it matter?"
But it don't do no good to get angry,
So help me I know

For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter.
You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own
Chain of sorrow.

I been brought down to zero, pulled out and put back there.
I sat on a park bench, kissed the girl with the black hair
And my head shouted down to my heart
"You better look out below!"

Hey, it ain't such a long drop don't stammer don't stutter
From the diamonds in the sidewalk to the dirt in the gutter
And you carry those bruises
To remind you wherever you go.

    Love John's music. Took my wife to see him at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA for her birthday on October 30, 1981 - standing room only. What a writer/singer

    John Prine is my step dad's cousin.. he doesn't even realize how cool it is..

  8. 1.... ....

    Heard this song as a teenager in a night show review on the radio. Liked it a lot and recorded it, forgot and recently came in my mind again, with the Sabu song. Great to hear again. Beautifull ending solo

  9. J.... W....

    I bought this album (vinyl) back in the 70s from a shop named pure pleasures in MC, Iowa and fell in love!!! 2nd album was in 79 by John Prine --- Pink Cadillac!! He wasn't in the regular store yet!! So glad I found his album!!

That sax solo kills me every time!And bless you for Hello in There. Lost my Davey--but not in the Korean War. You must have some idea of how your stuff gets inside people--bettin' we're all the same with stuff like that.What a legend! Thanks for letting it out!
