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.
