Tethered Lyrics

Sleeping At Last Tethered

We were married by the ocean
We were tethered by the sea
We tied strings around our fingers
To remember our ideals

I'll be brave when you are frightened
You'll be strong when I am weak in the knees
I'll be calm when you have had enough of these rushing
waves
You'll be the oxygen I need

We'll take turns to untangle the knots
Though our hands may be tied
It's all part of the plot
Cat's cradle etiquette, we oblige
As we learn to unlace for the rest of our lives

You'll be balance when I waver
I'll be warmth when you are shivering cold
You'll be patience when I've had enough of this waiting
game
I'll be the anchor cast below
