Tie

Looking at the floor,
where the shoelace is untied.
Looking in the mirror
where the tie wont stay on right.
Looking at the ribbon
that wants to come undone.
Could the inevitable force be rid of
Could I freeze time for just one
moment.

Then I could could tie
up all my loose ends.
Forgive and restore amends.
Then I could fly away from this place,
and tie myself together,
untie the knots I'm in.
And retie those ones that fell apart again.
I need a little time to tie

It would tide me over until everything is right.
Its just so many things lag on the ground untied.
Its a wonder I've kept my mind,
The loops undo and the laces on my shoe just can stay in line.
I think I just need a little time.


Then I could could tie
up all my loose ends.
Forgive and restore amends.
Then I could fly away from this place,
and tie myself together,
untie the knots I'm in.
And retie those ones that fell apart again.
I need a little time to tie,
a little time to cry,
a little time to reflect upon my life,
and on the day most think I'm dying
that's the day that I'll be tying
my life up,
when my times up,
I wanna go tied.
Keep me by your side tonight,
Hold me in your arms so tight,
Oh please help me to stay tied.
