Colours Run - Tethers lyrics

There are stars in her hair She is sad and she is fair And I feel her filling up my future We will try, try our best Not to end up like the rest If she cries, I will soothe her But what's the use? When my kids disown me And when she has outgrown me At last I'll see There can be no victory You and I forever Tangled in our tethers Pile on the years She is hungry, she is fierce And our love is the yoke around her shoulders And this house that we found Has become our battleground As we dine on our scissors and stones When our faith deserts us And when our hope just hurts us At last we'll see There can be no victory You and I forever tangled in our tethers Choking on the end of the line Won't anybody answer? When your kids disown you And when she has dethroned you Then come with me For a gla** of sympathy All of us together, tangled in our tethers Crying, I still love her Though I'm quite sick of her And this is all I knew I'd ever get From her
