The Tether

Running in one direction
Left me so far from home
That I lost my intentions
The only way to go was alone
And every time night surrounds me
The bed will lie hard and cold
Awaiting a warmer body
To lie in the folds

Out on the tether you celebrate never
And wake for the weather
A bachelor, forever
You don't see the stars even when you are staring
Cause no one is sharing the same set of eyes

I met her in cold October
When walls were three stories high
And on each side dancing embers
Longed for the sky

Out on the tether you celebrate never
And wake for the weather
A bachelor, forever
You don't see the stars even when you are staring
Cause no one is sharing the same set of eyes

Give me your hand and your heart
And wait for the snow
Well dance when it lands and hold hands
When its time to go
I'll give you my faith on a sterling silver plate
And you can dine
Toast to the death of the wall
And leave the rest to time

Will you leave me out in the dark to die
Or will you give me the last dance of the night
I had a heart once, but I forgot his name
But I hear he hangs around the same street, I bet he's still the same

Now that the tether has gone with the weather
We'll never say never
Punch drunk, together
And I see the stars every time that I'm staring
Cause now we are sharing the same set of eyes

Running in one direction
Now that there's not much to guess
Here where they don't play chess
We'll lie in the wake of the songs that we make
So lets love and partake
