Lyrics

Every last strand
is a thief or a rope or a lover
Whenever I stand
in the wake or the throes of another
If a hand can caress or coerce on a whim
Just imagine
what a thousand could do with you

Come and be tangled in long red hair
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you
Come and be tangled in long red hair
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you

Love of my life
with a voice that could bring down a mountain
I am your wife
for the ages beyond human counting
If a man with your power
can choose to be still
I will listen, make it my mission
to speak for you

Come and be tangled in long red hair
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you
Come and be tangled in long red hair
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you

It's easy to tangle in hair
with a seeming mind of its own
Drowning in wave upon wave
as it wraps around your throat
Wrangled by copper coils
until you're nearly spent
Length upon length they bind you for life
In this entanglement

I live on
Although you have come and gone
I live on

Come and be tangled in long red hair
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you

Come and be tangled in long red hair
(I wish you were here)
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you
Come and be tangled in long red hair
(I wish you were here)
Length upon length it binds you
binds you, binds you
