String Around My Finger - The Well Pennies

As I lay sleeping, the lamp beside me

Flickers light in a ring around my room

And in the halo a welcome memory

As I lay sleeping, the lamp beside me

Flickers light in a ring around my room

And in the halo a welcome memory

Of a time when I was still in love with you

You were always that light around me, when I was

Younger I could never understand

Through all that heartache, the pain that I take

Could melt away inside the comfort of your hand

But your lovin' ain’t and easy «thing to find»

There’s a string around my finger there’s a hold around my «mind»

Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams

I’m tryin' to find my way back home to you

You took off, I never thought you’d leave me

I think you ride around this town way too long

You built me up just to let me go down easy

I swore I’d never think of you once you had gone

But your lovin' ain’t and easy «way to go»

There’s a string around my finger there’s a hold around my «soul»

Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams

I’m tryin' to find my way back home to you

Though the years have gone … You still linger on and on …

Took a ride out to Holly’s diner

Took a ride thinkin' you got over me

There I saw you alone and lovely

Now I’m sittin' right back where I used to be

But your lovin' ain’t and easy «thing to find»

There’s a string around my finger there’s a hold around my «mind»

Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams

I finally found my way back home to you.

But your lovin' ain’t and easy way to

go

There’s a string around my finger there’s a hold around my soul

Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams

I finally found my way back home to you.

But your lovin' ain’t and easy way to

go
