String Around My Finger Songtext
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 … [instrumental]

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
