String Around My Finger

As I lay sleeping, the lamp beside me
Flickers light in a ring around my room
Under that halo awoke a 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
Though all that heartache and pain that I take
Could melt away inside the comfort of your hand
But your loving ain't an 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 trying to find my way back home to you
You took off, I never thought you'd leave me
I think you ran around this town for 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 loving ain't an 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 trying to find my way back home to you
Though the years have gone
You still linger on and on and on
I took a ride out to Holly's Diner
I took a ride thinking you got over me
And there I saw you, alone and lovely
And now I'm sitting right back where I used to be
And though your loving ain't an 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
And though your loving ain't an 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
I finally found my way back home to you
