We were on the best of terms
Only spoke when we were spoken to
But in some language without words
I thought I heard him say, we were through
I tried to find it in his eyes
I looked for clues in books and poetry
I searched for days between the lines
Till he caught me crying and said to me
Oh take me in your arms and hold me
Where is it that I've been running to?
These chains that bind me now are only
bonds of a love, so strong and true
Once he saw me with a friend
Someone I like a lot and used to know
He talked as if it were the end
But I was bored and I told him so
I left for nowhere in a car
Having picked a fight and slammed the door
It didn't take me very far
Till I realised my love wouldn't stand much more
Oh take me in your arms and hold me
Where is it that I've been running to?
These chains that bind me now are only
bonds of a love, so strong and true
Straining at the bonds of love
Straining at the bonds of love
Straining at the bonds of love
Straining at the bonds of love
Oh take me in your arms and hold me
Where is it that I've been running to?
These chains that bind me now are only
bonds of a love, so strong and true
