Spindle

It feels like a long time ago When you were a child And now it's forgotten Looks like someone I used to know Seems like the mem'ries are forgotten I still hear your laugh When nothing was serious And we were fearless We were nearest Then I was wrapped up like a spindle I gathered up my pride And still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye I was wrapped up like a spindle We don't talk, no We don't talk much anymore But I've been around, no To how you been, how does it go? I guess it's the way it works Yeah, I guess it's the way it's supposed to go But this ain't a game now You got me wrapped up like a spindle I gathered up my pride And still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye I was wrapped up like a spindle I gathered up my pride But still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye But still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye You've got your mother's Irish eyes And your father's patience And you stand in a disguise Like a face that nobody knows A place that's been forgotten As the fear creeps into your soul As you run with your hands in your pockets From someone you used to know You were wrapped up like a spindle You gathered up your pride But still you can't say the words But still you can't say goodbye You were wrapped up like a spindle You gathered up your pride But still you can't say the words And still you can't say goodbye
