The Slender Threads That Bind Us HereThe dawn of youth, the twilight yearsThe tender light we hold so dear The memory of the smile, the tear The slender threads that bind us here I know the way from here Trying to hide my tears Praying for grace at the end of the day I want to hold you and never let go But I look up to find that you're slipping away The dawn of youth, the twilight years The tender light we hold so dear The memory of the smile, the tear The slender threads that bind us here I long to speak with you I try to reach for you Wake up to find that there's nobody home I walk away from here Still I can feel you here Forever with me, forever alone So strong they hold, to be let go And still they're there, slight as air The memory of the smile, the tear The slender threads that bind us here The dawn of youth, the twilight years The tender light we hold so dear The memory of the smile, the tear The slender threads that bind us here |
