Levon Helm, The RCO All-Stars - The Tie That Binds

Текст песни

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 assumed you’d rather pass 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
