Starsailor – Tie Up My Hands Lyrics 19 years ago
I thought this song was about adultry, to be honest. It sounds like the women who the lyricist was with is in a relationship, be it married or whatever. "Rest your daughter while your mother cries" could be a referrence to 1) the child the woman has had in her "official" relationship and 2) the mother weeping because she knows that HER daughter is cheating on her husband. "I wanna love you but my hands are tied" perhaps a reference to the fact that he cannot stay with her because she has her "official" life.. Also, maybe his "hands are tied" because of his guilt? I admit, it doesnt QUITE fit but thats what I assumed this song was about..
