needles & yarn by maybe so

Oh little one fill us up now
Strap our feet onto the solid ground
The world is spinning fast around us
Give us something we can hold on to

Yes I know little things do grow
Right before our weary eyes
Needles and yarn are all it takes to darn
But the threads wear thinner still

You sat in front of the fire
Knitting to the sound of our heartbeat
Our kids they grew and unraveled
So you made us socks in pairs for us to wear

When they move away
We'll hold our thread and pray that the stitches don't pull apart
Cause needles and yarn are all it takes to darn
But the threads wear thinner still

When we got to the end dear
It looked about the same as where we'd been
The lines on our face had grown deeper
Steps synchronized to our heartbeat

In this empty home
There's pieces of what we've known
So many stories that'll be untold
Cause needles and yarn are all it takes darn
But the threads wear thinner still
thinner still
thinner
