Levon Helm - The Tie That Binds lyrics

Last night I slept with an open eye As you whispered on the phone The tears you cried had just disappeared And then you wish you was all alone You thought I was sleeping But I know you were sleazing And you know you can’t keep That new secret from me Let’s not break the tie that binds Let’s not lose our piece of mind You know that I really love you darling But you’re just too much to deal with at this time You didn’t have the nerve to tell me That you just didn’t love me I a**umed you’d rather pa** and play So darling evidently You thought I was sleeping But I know you been sleazing And you know you can’t keep That new secret from me Let’s not break the tie that binds Let’s not lose our piece of mind You know that I really love you darling But I just can’t seem to deal with you at this time Your whisper has been at you a long long time And I couldn’t believe my ears I nearly cried when you said to me How much you needed me here You thought I was sleeping But I know you were sleazing And you know you can’t keep That new secret from me Let’s not break the tie that binds Let’s not lose our piece of mind You know that I really love you darling But you’re just too much to deal with at this time
