As I lay sleeping, the lamp beside me Flickers light in a ring around my room And in the halo a welcome memory As I lay sleeping, the lamp beside me Flickers light in a ring around my room And in the halo a welcome memory Of a time when I was still in love with you You were always that light around me, when I was Younger I could never understand Through all that heartache, the pain that I take Could melt away inside the comfort of your hand But your lovin' ain't and easy “thing to find” There's a string around my finger there's a hold around my “mind” Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams I'm tryin' to find my way back home to you You took off, I never thought you'd leave me I think you ride around this town way too long You built me up just to let me go down easy I swore I'd never think of you once you had gone But your lovin' ain't and easy “way to go” There's a string around my finger there's a hold around my “soul” Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams I'm tryin' to find my way back home to you Though the years have gone … You still linger on and on … [instrumental] Took a ride out to Holly's diner Took a ride thinkin' you got over me There I saw you alone and lovely Now I'm sittin' right back where I used to be But your lovin' ain't and easy “thing to find” There's a string around my finger there's a hold around my “mind” Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams I finally found my way back home to you. But your lovin' ain't and easy way to go There's a string around my finger there's a hold around my soul Lately it seems you turn up in all my dreams I finally found my way back home to you. But your lovin' ain't and easy way to go
