Everything But The Girl Apron Strings Lyrics

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
