(repeated twice every verse)
Chorus:
Bridge:
(repeats until bridge end)
---
We drained every dime, in the lower east side
And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
So you came to my room
We did some things that we knew not to do
In the glow of the nightâs golden cue
Chorus:
Youâve got the tattered line of string,
And you tied round everything
That you want to call your own
But it never seems to hold
When we walk, we agreed
That we will not ever sṗeak of this night to anyone that we both knew
Then you said:
âEvery time we kissed, I felt something that couldnât existâ
And I confessed that I thought I felt it too
Chorus:
Iâve got a tattered line of string,
And I tied round everything
That I want to call your own
But it never seems to hold
Chorus:
I got a tattered line of string,
And I tied round everything
That I want to call your own
But it never seems to hold
E-verything
Every-thing
Never seems to hold
Never seems to hold
Chorus:
Youâve got the tattered line of string,
And you tied round everything
That you want to call your own
But it never seems to hold
Chorus:
I got a tattered line of string,
And I tied round everything
That I want to call my own
But it never seems to hold
Never seems to hold
