The Red Thread

歌詞

I was only a girl When I went out on my own You wrapped me up warm And just let me go Now I live at the far end Of this long distance line And I'm just another one Who's gone and left you behind Wish we could look at your pictures All the places you've been I don't think you will But you can see them again 'Cause you can see them through me The brown eyes I got from you Now I wish I could give 'em back to you This much I can say This much I can do When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you 'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love From watching you Wish that I could tell you It'll all be all right But you never did believe it Through the trials of your life You and I both know It just isn't true When so much you love Has been taken from you I remember when you told me If we run out of time How happy you were Just to know she'll be mine When I wrap her up warm You'll be right next to me 'Cause they say that the red thread that ties me to you Ties her to me This much I can say This much I can do When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you This much I can say This much I can do When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you 'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love From watching you Watching you Watching you
