Sangtekst: Suzanne Vega. Close-Up Vol. 1, Love Songs. Bound.

The way of the world
Has taken its toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul

I am ruined by rain
Weathered by wind
Been invaded
Without and within

And I ask, I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
And I ask, asking you
Asking you if you might still want me

Once you said
I'm made of fine stuff
I've been corrupted
And taken enough

Now you appear
Making your claim
Inside my heart
Is the sign of your name

And I ask, I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
And I ask, asking you
Asking you if you might still want me

All these words
Like darling and angel
And dear crowd my mouth
In a path to your ear

The way of the world
Is taking it's toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul

And I ask, I am asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
And I ask, asking you
Asking you if you might still want me
When I said I am bound to you forever
Here's what I meant, I am bound to you forever
