Van Morrison - Ball & Chain lyrics

Album: Too Long In Exile (1993)

I have been on this roller coaster just too many times
And always it seems like
The blind keep on leading the blind
Tried to get them on the ´phone
Tried to find my way back home
Tned & failed, & tried & failed, again

But baby I do not want you ´cos you look so good
I do not want you ´cos I know I should
I do not want you to come in f rom the rain
I want you to be my ball & chain
I want you to be my ball & chain

Ah just lately I have been roaming from town to town
I have been setting them up, setting them up
And I have been knocking them down

I was born to live, it seems, a fugitive dream
Make things always better than they seem
And I stop & start, & stop & start
And stop & start again

Baby I do not want you for your money
I do not want you ´cos I love you honey
I do not want you to ease this memory pain
No, I want you to be my ball & chain
Yes, I want you to be my, be my ball & chain

When I see you in the garden once again
Baby you will be standing in the summer rain
Laugh & cry & say what it is all about
You can even jump & shout
And you will smile & say how are you again
I do not want you ´cos I am so blue
I do not want you ´cos you know what to do
I do not want you because all my love seems in vain

I want you to be my ball & chain
I want you to be my ball & chain
I want you to be my ball & chain
I want you to be my ball & chain
Oh, be my ball & chain
Be my ball & chain, be my ball & chain
Oh, be my ball & chain
I want you.....ball & chain, etc.
