Spindle

[Verse 1] It feels like a long time ago When you were a child And now it's forgotten Looks like someone I used to know Seems like the memories are forgotten I still hear you laughing When nothing was serious and we were fearless We were nearest then [Chorus] I was wrapped up like a spindle I gathered up my pride And still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye I was wrapped up like a spindle [Verse 2] We don't talk, no Wе don't talk much anymore But I've been around though So how you been, how does it go? I guеss it's the way it works Yeah, I guess it's the way it's supposed to go But this ain't a game now [Chorus] You got me wrapped up like a spindle I gathered up my pride And still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye I was wrapped up like a spindle I gathered up my pride But still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye Still I can't say the words Still I can't say goodbye [Verse 3] You got your mother's Irish eyes And your father's patience And you stand in a disguise Like a face that nobody knows A place that's been forgotten As the fear creeps into your soul As you run with your hands in your pockets From someone you used to know [Chorus] You were wrapped up like a spindle You gathered up your pride Still you can't say the words Still you can't say goodbye You were wrapped up like a spindle You gathered up your pride And still you can't say the words Still you can't say goodbye
