Suzanne Vega — Bound lyrics

Lyrics

The way of the world
Has taken its toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul
I am ruined by rain
Weathered by wind
Been invaded
Without and within
And I ask, I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me And I ask, asking you
Asking you if you might still want me Once you said
I’m made of fine stuff
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 And I ask, 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
Is taking it’s toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul
And I ask, I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me And I ask, 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
