Lyrics Chain Of Keys - Demo - PJ Harvey

15 keys
15 keys hang on a chain
The chain is joined
The chain is joined and forms a ring
The ring is in
The ring is in a woman's hand
Who's walking on
Walking on the dusty ground

The dusty ground's a dead end track
The neighbors won't be coming back
15 gardens overgrown
15 houses falling down

The woman's old
The woman's old and dressed in black
She keeps her hands
Keeps her hands behind her back
Numbers painted on the doors
Posters on the locked up church
I think of how life would have been
We ask, but she won't let us in

A key so simple and so small
How can it mean no hope at all?
A key, a promise or a wish
How can it mean such hopelessness?

"A circle is broken," she says
"A circle is broken," she says
