Tania Kernaghan - Hobble Chains lyrics

I'll be home soon enough he said

And kissed my cheek too lightly

Then he sprang into the saddle

And set my heart to beating wildly

My love was but a lad back then

And when his Irish blood was up

I daren't hold him from the world outside

A slab and shingled hut

CHOURUS1

So the sad refrain of hoof beats echoed over the plains

And the eerie fading chime of hoble chains

Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days

'Til I hear those hobl chains echo home and the chime of hoble chains

Now in the dimming hours

When I lay down alone

I long to see his shadow

In the hearths dying glow

And I strain to hear him rifing

Through the moonlit iron bark

My wearly heart is haunted

For too long we've been apart

CHORUS2

And the sad refrain of hoof beats echoed over the plains

And the eerie fading chime of hoble chains

Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days

'Til I hear those hobl chains echo home and the chime of hoble chains

Oh I felt a fool to let him go now my heart mourns the days

'Til I hear those hobl chains echo home and the chime of hoble chains
