[Verse 1]
Apron strings hanging empty
Crazy things my body tells me

[Verse 2]

[Verse 3]
Apron strings, cold and lonely
For time brings thoughts that only
Will be quiet when someone clings to my apron strings

And you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings
You'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings
