Tangled as my heart is with yours
Would you have me born with wooden eyes
To see me through
Tangled as my heart is with yours
Would you have me born with wooden eyes
To see me through, through
If every word was true
If every other word was true
Would wind me through
If every word was true
If every other word was true
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Would you have me born with wooden eyes?
