Suzanne Vega - Bound - Текст песни

The way of the world

Has taken its toll

Ravaged my body

And bitten my soul


I am ruined by rain

Weathered by wind

I've been invaded

Without and within


And I ask

I am asking you

Asking you if you

Might still want me.


Once you said

I'm made of fine stuff.

But I've been corrupted.

And taken enough.


Now you appear.

Making your claim.

Inside my heart

Is the sign of your name.


And I ask

I am asking you

Asking you if you

Might still want me?


All these words

Like darling and angel and dear

Crowd my mouth

In a path to your ear.

The way of the world

Has taken it's toll

Ravaged my body

Bitten my soul


And I ask

I am asking you

Asking you if you

Might still want me?


When I said:

I am bound to you forever

Here's what I meant:

I am bound to you forever
