Your hands hold a tale of the fabric you combined

Every thread of every seam accounted by a line

I wore it proud and ran around

Kept me warm on winter nights

Your color and design made your way inside

Cause you could patch it up, and make something new

Fill up a broken cup and and then* drink it too

Cause there was nothing here to stop you

And nothing ever did

Cause you could patch it up and make something for me and you

Dreaming big and loud in a grey little town

A lovely song in your beating heart your head inside a cloud

Damn well knew what you had to say

For some of us it was tough to take

We'd lay it all aside and share a little wine

But you could patch it up, and make something new

Fill up a broken cup and and you'd drink it too

Cause there was nothing here to stop you

And nothing ever did

Cause you could patch it up and make something for me and you

As you fade away and leave a memory behind

Lost a lot and then buried it deep inside your mind

Every battle that crossed your way

Saved 'em all for a rainy day

But covering your eyes can't make you go blind

Cause you could patch it up, and make something new

Fill up a broken cup and and you'd drink it too

Cause there was nothing here to stop you

And nothing ever did

Cause you could patch it up and make something for me and you
