Twine

Darling you will go, how I wish you would stay I’ve made a little home of sticks and clay Don’t let it wash away Darling I will love you, even when you leave I can hear the wind running through the trees Don’t let it catch your wings For underneath the night skies, underneath the pines I hold you, my darling, with a bit of twine But it don’t make you mine And underneath the darkness where we lie We pretend that it won’t soon unwind For I am not your kind Darling I can’t fight, just bury it in sand Hold back all my love, build up this dam You’ll knock it down again For underneath the night skies, underneath the pines I hold you, my darling, with a bit of twine But it’s oh-so-fine And underneath the darkness where we lie We pretend you don’t long for the sky For I am not your kind, kind, kind Oo no, I am not your kind OO no, I’m the one that builds, you break, you fly - Oo oh, I am not your one and only Just a place to call home for the time No, I am not yours I am not the one that’ll make you sing I’ll give you the warmth, the shade, the trees But that’s not what you need And underneath the night skies, underneath the pines I’ll cut you loose, and you’ll take flight For I am not your kind, kind, kind Oo no, I am not your kind Oo no, and the dam comes down, the rivers rise Oo oh, I am not your Oo oh, oo, I am not your Oo oh, I am not yours
