On Tenterhooks

On Tenterhooks

by Paul McCann

.

Something stressful has got me on tenterhooks

and  it looks like I’ve got shivers and spooks ,

looking over my shoulder now and then ,

staying away from danger,  I’m on tenterhooks again.

Some people try to tell me what to do ,

what would they know, they haven’t got a clue.,

going to  keep them at a distance ,

steering clear of them ,

why don’t they fade away and disappear. .

I was on tenterhooks til I found you ,

isn’t it wonderful what  love can do,

there’s so many things that i couldn’t see

until  you took the tenterhooks from me .

Giving my tenterhooks back to the sky my love ,

living with your love , just  you and I ,

 Going to kiss them all goodbye ,

these tenterhooks , hang them up to dry .

Checking in and checking out ,

chasing time and catching up

 then falling behind but getting things done ,

lunch on the run , But I’m still waiting for dinner to come  , .

I’m on tenterhooks again .

I was on tenterhooks til I found you ,

 isn’t it wonderful what  love can do,

there’s so many things that i couldn’t see

 until  you took the tenterhooks from me .

Giving my tenterhooks back to the sky my love ,

 living with your love everyday, just  you and I ,

going to kiss them goodbye ,

Going to hang my tenterhooks out to dry  .
