Tyin' On    © 1979 RFRussell

Moon tied to the tide
Tied like the heart of the ocean
To the sky you and I
Brother and sister
We can fly
And tie it high
Where loose ends fly
And children cry
And hearts need tying on
Hearts need tying on

It's like a strong rope
Woven out of stars and planets
And the sky
And the wild lonely hearts that span it
And the minds that ask it
And the hands that grasp it
Clouds that mask it
As the seasons pass us
Hearts need tying on
Hearts need tying on

        Because you know
        It's just one heart
        Beats the Earth
        As a wheel
        Turns every part
        Hang on for all your worth

    There is one heart in the ocean
    One heart in the sky
    One heart in the forest
    One heart in all the lights

And hearts need tying on
Hearts need tying on
