Apron Strings (2012 Remaster)

Apron strings hanging empty crazy things

My body tells me I want someone

To tie to my apron strings

Apron strings waiting for you pretty things

That I could call you I want someone

To tie to my lonely apron strings

Your baby looks just like you

When you were young

And he looks at me with eyes that shined

And I wish that he were mine

Then I go home with my eyes

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 way

When you cry I will 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

You'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings
