  • In the night I hear you speak
    Turn around, you're in my sleep
    Feel your hands inside my soul
    You're holding on and you won't let go

    I've tried running but there's no escape
    Can't bend them, and I just can't break these...

    [Chorus:]
    Steel bars, wrapped all around me
    I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
    I'm bound forever, till the end of time
    Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

    Trying hard to recognize
    See the face behind the eyes
    Feel your haunting ways like chains
    'Round my heart they still remain

    [Chorus:]

    And with every step I take
    Every desperate move I make
    It's clear to me
    What can all my living mean
    When time itself is so obscene
    When time itself don't mean a thing
    I'm still loving you

    [Chorus:] Writer/s: BOB DYLAN, MICHAEL BOLTON
