Autumn leafs fall away
Everything is a matter of time
Any man tries to wait
Try to build me a ladder to climb
Bound to this world
So I’m sure
Bound to this world
And it’s her
Bound to this world
To this earth
Bound to this world
Many snows still to fall
And the worse in the getting to light
And lamps left to burn
I don’t think I could leave it behind
Bound to this world
All its beauty
Bound to this world
All its cruelty
Bound to this world
Heaven help me
Bound to this world
More days
More days
Cold inside
More days
Bound to this world
So I’m sure
Bound to this world
And it’s her
Bound to this world
All its beauty
Bound to this world
All its cruelty
Bound to this world
Heaven help me
Bound to this world
