Slender Threads That Bind Us Here

The dawn of youth, the twilight years
The tender light we hold so dear
The memory of the smile, the tear
The slender threads, that bind us here

I know the way, from here
Trying, to hide my tears
Praying for grace, at the end of the day
I want to hold you, and never let go
But I look up to find, that you're slipping away

The dawn of youth, the twilight years
The tender light, we hold so dear
The memory of the smile, the tear
The slender threads, that bind us here

I long to speak with you
I try to reach for you
Wake up to find, that there's nobody home
I walk away from here

Still, I can feel you here
Forever with me, forever alone
So strong, they hold, to be let go
And still, they're there, slight as air

The memory, of the smile, the tear
The slender threads, that bind us here

The dawn of youth, the twilight years
The tender light, we hold so dear
The memory of the smile, the tear
