Loose Ends

Loose ends, loose ends

Treat 'em all as my friend

Well-travelled, unravelled

Me and my loose ends

Loose ends, loose ends

I could never pretend

Diminished when finished

Me and my loose ends

Loose ends, loose ends

Treat 'em all as my friend

Well-travelled, unravelled

Just me and my loose ends

Loose ends, loose ends

I could never pretend

Diminished when finished

Just me and my loose ends

Unfinished business they call it, all these loose ends

Untidy and messy the way they unfold sometimes

And you do your best to make 'em rest, but in the end

They'll put you to the test, these loose ends

I pray for something ghostly, lighter

A broken toy that needs a wheel

But in the end, these loose ends were my Achilles heel

In the end, my loose ends were all cursed

And what's worse, women and children first

Until a lifeboat was overflowing, they had no way of knowing

That loose ends would sink this ship

Unfinished business had them in its grip

(Loose ends, loose ends)

Ah, but it ain't nothing but a thing sometimes

You take a heart, you stomp on it (Loose ends, loose ends)

It ain't nothing but a thing sometimes

You take a heart, you stomp on it (Loose ends, loose ends)

You say, "Have fun with that dog in the window"

No wonder one pause can cause so many loose ends (Loose ends, loose ends)

So many loose ends

Oh, loose ends, loose ends

I treat 'em all as my friend

Well-travelled, unravelled

Just me and my loose ends

Loose ends, loose ends

I could never pretend

Diminished when finished

Just me and my loose ends

Loose ends, loose ends

I treat 'em all as my friend

Come hither, don't dither

Just me and my loose ends

Loose ends, loose ends

The story still ends

It's south, the beginning

For me and my loose ends

(Loose ends, loose ends)

It's me and my loose ends

(Loose ends, loose ends)

It's me and my loose ends

(Loose ends, loose ends)

It's me and my loose ends

(Loose ends, loose ends)

Me and my loose ends

Loose ends
