String Around My Finger

Verse 1
As I lay sleeping the lamp beside me
Flickers light in a ring around my room
Under that halo awoke a memory 
Of a time when I was still in love with you 
Though you were always that light around me
When I was younger I could never understand
How all that heartache and pain that I take
Could melt away inside the comfort of your hand

Chorus
But your loving ain’t an easy thing to find
There's a string around my finger, there's a hold around my mind
Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams
I’m trying to find my way back home to you 

Verse 2
You took off I never thought you’d leave me
I think you rattled around this town for way too long
You built me up just to let me go down easy
I swore I'd never think of you once you had gone

Chorus
But your loving ain’t an easy way to go
There's a string around my finger, there's a hold around my soul
Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams
I’m trying to find my way back home to you

Bridge
Though the years have gone
You still linger on and on

Verse 3
I took a ride out to Holly's diner
I took a ride thinking you got over me
And there I saw you alone and lovely
And now I’m sitting right back where I used to be

Chorus
And though your loving ain’t an easy thing to find
There's a string around my finger, there's a hold around my mind
Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams
I finally found my way back home to you 
And though your loving ain’t an easy way to go
There's a string around my finger, there's a hold around my soul
Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams
I finally found my way back home to you 
I finally found my way back home to you
