Lyrics Bound - Suzanne Vega

Bound

The way of the world
Has taken its toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul
I am ruined by rain
Weathered by wind
I’ve been invaded
Without and within
And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you
Might still want me
Once you said
I’m made of fine stuff
But 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?
All these words
Like darling and angel and dear
Crowd my mouth
In a path to your ear
The way of the world
Has taken it’s toll
Ravaged my body
Bitten my soul
And I ask
I am 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
