Ties That Bind
(Carolann Solebello)
Carolann Solebello
Fifteen miles from nowhere, and you are on my mind
Don’t know where I’m going, or what I hope to find
What held us bound together has started to unwind
I’m just moving forward ‘cause I can’t bear to look behind
I am bound for somewhere
You are bound to be kind
But we are bound to each other
And we can’t be bound together ‘til we mend the ties that bind
Stopped for gas and coffee, bitter to the bone
Still I had to stop myself from picking up the phone
Even if you answered, I’d still feel alone
Throwing my own voice again against a wall of stone
CHORUS
Every exit on this highway
Marks a point of no return
If I stumble back to you along some byway
There is nothing left to learn
Fifty miles from nowhere, and still you’re on my mind
I know where I’m going now, but I’m not sure what I’ll find
I will always love you, but I won’t be resigned
To some empty words of promise underneath the ties that bind
CHORUS
