Tie A String

Tie a string around your waist

Show me where you hold your pain

Show me where my hand should go

Tell me where you keep your hope

And the older I get, the more I understand

We are all just barely hanging on

(Tie a string around your waist)

Tie a string around your waist

Wear it like a wedding ring, remembering

That you're afraid of letting go

That you're afraid of everything

And all the love you lost

It's not gone, it's not gone

All the love you gave to me

Tie a string around your waist

Keep it there until it breaks

Lover, you are not alone

And something in your body knows

And the older I get, the more I understand

We are all just barely hanging on

And the older I get, the more I understand

We are all just barely hanging on

This is holy ground we are standing on

So cut the cord between my heart and yours

And all the love you lost

It's not gone, it's not gone

All the love you gave to me (to me)

And all the love you lost

It's not gone, it's not gone

All the love you gave to me

(Tie a string around your waist)

So tie a string around your waist

Show me where you hold your pain

Show me where my hands should go

You shoud tell me where you keep your hope
