He gave to you a golden ring
It made you happy, it made you sing
I played for you on my guitar
It didn't last long, we didn't go far

Though the times have changed
We're rearranged
Ties that bind remain the same

You came around after a while
Everyone said I made you smile
All went well, suddenly then
You heard that he would marry again

Times have changed
We're rearranged
Ties that bind remain the same

I know that I have been here before
I've trod on your wings, I've opened the door
If I gave to you a golden ring
Would I make you happy, would I make you sing?

Times have changed
We're rearranged
Ties that bind remain the same

Times have changed
We're rearranged
Ties that bind remain the same
