Sandra McCracken - The Tie That Binds lyrics

The sorrow of a friend From a long way we stand Grief is second hand But I'll send my tears in a locket Amelia smiles under lights & wires Thorns for every flower We number every hour And live the days we are given Oh, the pain It makes you feel alive Oh, the broken heart is the tie that binds And I pray to God, these things will be made right When the morning shines On tear stained eyes Oh we shall overcome The Father gave the Son To break the curse we are under Oh the pain that no man can escape Oh the sting of d**h, the empty grave, And I pray to God where comfort has no place When our tired eyes look through the veil The colors are so pale but we raise high the sail And call the winds to carry us home Call the winds to carry us home.
