[00:02.51]We drained every dime, in the lower east side
[00:07.61]And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
[00:10.61]So you came to my room
[00:16.98]We did some things that we knew not to do
[00:20.47]In the glow of the night’s golden cue
[00:26.21]
[00:26.77]Chorus:
[00:27.08]You’ve got the tattered light of string,
[00:30.57]And you tied round everything
[00:34.19]That you want to call your own
[00:37.44]But it never seems to hold
[00:40.75]When we walk, we agreed
[00:42.93]That we will not ever s?eak of this night to anyone that we both knew
[00:52.98]

[01:22.44]I got a tattered light of string,
[01:25.50]And I tied round everything
[01:28.87]That I want to call your own
[01:32.24]But it never seems to hold
[01:38.41]E-verything
[01:39.72]Every-thing

[01:51.08]Never seems to hold
[01:59.57]
[02:03.44]Chorus:
[02:03.69]You’ve got the tattered light of string,

[02:09.61]
[02:10.24]That you want to call your own
[02:13.36]But it never seems to hold
[02:16.10]Chorus:
[02:16.73]I got a tattered light of string,
[02:20.16]And I tied round everything
[02:23.72]That I want to call your own
[02:27.09]But it never seems to h
