Lyrics

As the day sips on night

And the pain grips on tight

All my patience subsides

Fast she fades from my sight

I cast despair from my mind

Recite my prayers one more time

Ask for bravery tonight

Let me save her my sire

XXXXX

They got me by the ankles, oh

Got me chained like a dog

Took my sword from my scabbard, bastards!

Now my back’s to the wall

Cindy, oh Cindy darling

Where could you be?

I’m here with my limbs in shackles

But who’s looking for me?

XXXXX

Far away, trapped in time

Lies a place left behind

Anger shaped anxious lives

Love was vacant or silent

Born to bolster the name

And raised to know every prayer

Swaddled in endless shame

How they drove her away

XXX

I see you in the shadows, oh

I see you in the light

I see you though my eyes are blackened

Tell me we’ll be alright

Cindy, oh Cindy darling

Where could you be?

I followed my intuition

No one’s looking for me
