Lyrics
Ties That Bind
Verse I
Sometimes the ties that bind
Can't be explained, neither can they break
Just stretched when one falls behind
The other stands and waits
And sometimes the ties that bind
Can't be explained, but with bated breath
Each misstep our lover takes, the patience of a saint
Chorus
There are ties that bind us, reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared
Verse II
Heart strings like wings unseen, mine of leather
Yours are of feather down
Like a windblown wishing weed
Leaves her dandelion gown
And without a single sound
Our souls take flight, bound together tight
Though miles apart along the ground
In one, the other's found
Chorus
There are Ties That Bind us, Reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared
Bridge
This is what we've waited for
Everything we've waited for
Chorus
There are Ties That Bind us, Reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared
There are Ties That Bind us, Reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared
Bridge
This is what we've waited for
Everything we've waited for
