The Tether

Aileen, Aileen, she waits forever

Those years apart kept us together

By the time I returned, you'd already gone

Your makeup and your luck on the run

Aileen, she waits in every weather

My crimes, your crimes, they've nothing to offer

Young heart, old eyes with losses to suffer

Stick around until the circus has gone

Unleashed by the Indian sun

Sometimes, sometimes, the truth's much tougher

God speed that love that takes forever

In diamond skies, still dark as ever

With a stranger down memory lane

Gut punched by a long-buried pain

My stomach tied, my love the tether

My stomach tied, my love the tether
