Looking For The Thread

A dark road up ahead, the light in late September

The music in my head that I've memorized forever

Words I should have said, and doors I never should have entered

I'm just looking for the thread that ties it all together

Old letters never read, old grudges burned to embers

Migrations overhead, the beating wings of purple vespers

Did you jump or were you led, and does it even really matter?

You're just looking for the thread that ties it all together

Against silver skies of lead

All the lives we come to shed

Like leaves from trees before the winter

I made a prayer from what you said

That no one is ever dead because time and love remember

There are dark roads up ahead, tie your compass to some leather

We are marching to the edge in every kind of weather

If life is but a pledge I have made mine from a feather

And a ribbon for the thread that ties it all together

We're just looking for the thread that ties us all together

Looking for the thread that ties us all together

Looking for the thread that ties us all together
