This is just a plain old song. Simple. But it took us ages to finish it. In fact, it wasn't finished until I took it to Wendell Ferguson and said, "James and I are stuck. The last line of the chorus needs a little something that we're not getting." And Wendell said, "it needs 'a part of me, will always be bound to you'". That was it. Done. It's a fun one to play.
lyrics
BOUND TO YOU
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley, James Gordon,
and Wendell Ferguson
Does the one you left me for
Still come knocking 'round your door
Or has she left you for somebody new
Times were tough for us you know
But time has let me let you go
Even still, I'm ever bound to you
Bound to you, bound to you
After all these years it's still true
Bound to you, bound to you
A part of me will always be bound to you
I used to read you like a book
Now I don't know the way you look
Don't know where you live or what you do
There's one thing I know for sure
There's one thing that time won't cure
That is I'm ever bound to you
Bound to you, bound to you
After all these years it's still true
Bound to you, bound to you
A part of me will always be bound to you
