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
