apron strings
hanging empty
crazy things

my body tells me
i want someone to tie to my lonely
apron strings


apron strings
waiting for you

pretty things
that i could call you
i want someone to tie to my lonely

apron strings

he'd look just like me when I was young

and I wonder as the days unwind
will he have your eyes or mine
then i wake up 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'll be there

i'll sing to you and comb your hair
all your troubles i will share


for apron strings
can be used for other things
than what they're meant for

and you'd be happy wrapped in my
apron strings
