apron strings
hanging empty
crazy things
my body tells me
i want someone to tie to my lonely
apron strings
apron strings
waiting for you
pretty things
that i could call you
i want someone to tie to my lonely
apron strings
he d look just like me when I was young
and I wonder as the days unwind
will he have your eyes or mine
then i wake up to my
apron strings
cold and lonely
for time brings
thoughts that only
will be quiet when someone clings to my
apron strings
and i ll be perfect in my own way
when you cry i ll be there
i ll sing to you and comb your hair
all your troubles i will share
for apron strings
can be used for other things
than what they re meant for
and you d be happy wrapped in my
apron strings
