Apron Strings (Live)

Apron strings hanging empty

Crazy things my body tells me

I want someone to tie to my apron strings

Apron strings waiting for you

Pretty things that I could call you

I want someone to tie to my lonely apron strings

Your baby looks just like you when you were young

And he looks at me with eyes that shine

And I wish that he were mine

Then I go home 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 will be there

I'll sing to you and comb your hair

All your troubles I will share

Apron strings can be used for other things

Than what they're meant for

And you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings

You'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings
