Colours Run - Tethers lyrics

There are stars in her hair

She is sad and she is fair

And I feel her filling up my future

We will try, try our best

Not to end up like the rest

If she cries, I will soothe her

But what's the use?

When my kids disown me

And when she has outgrown me

At last I'll see

There can be no victory

You and I forever

Tangled in our tethers

Pile on the years

She is hungry, she is fierce

And our love is the yoke around her shoulders

And this house that we found

Has become our battleground

As we dine on our scissors and stones

When our faith deserts us

And when our hope just hurts us

At last we'll see

There can be no victory

You and I forever tangled in our tethers

Choking on the end of the line

Won't anybody answer?

When your kids disown you

And when she has dethroned you

Then come with me

For a glass of sympathy

All of us together, tangled in our tethers

Crying, I still love her

Though I'm quite sick of her

And this is all I knew I'd ever get

From her
