“Only Bound”

Oh my lonely world
Only world I see
Oh my wilting world
Tilting world and me

Clinging to a vine of promises
Grown from her nobility
When she and her gentle hand
Were only bound to me

She was only bound
Only bound to me
I was always around
Crawling around on my knees

Tales of time
Slowly set me free
Paths unwind
In lonely harmony

Now I’m holding hands
Folding hands to see
Waving hazy plans
Drifting sands and me

Clinging to a vine of promises
Grown from her nobility
When she and her gentle hand
Were only bound to me
When she and her gentle hand
Were only bound to me

(She was) She was only bound (She was only bound)
(Ah, ah) Only bound to me (She was only bound to me)
(She was) She was only bound (She was only bound)
(Ah, ah) Only bound to me (She was only bound to me)
(She was) She was only bound (She was only bound)
(Ah, ah) Only bound to me (She was only bound to me)

(She was) She was only bound (Only bound)
(She was only bound) Only bound to me (To me)
(She was) She was only bound… (Only bound…)
