Apron Strings Lyrics

 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 
  
  
 everything but the girl, "Apron Strings"
