blair dunlop - threads lyrics
many’s the time that i have trugged this path
towards the shop where many have browsed
many’s the st-tch that i have sown to patch
they’re closed to get shoppers housed
she stood fast for a ton of years
while my family has held the fort
armed with a needle and a silky thread
and the will to never fall short
thread by thread i built my skill
to be relying thus those before
while the months take a bite to the beat of the long
case
clock on the factory floor
never did my eye lids backed on my fingers
we’ll work til they’re varying up
but my heart was yearning for the chance to join
a far more ill-strious club
clothing has served me well til now
though i lied for it to cut my cloth
but as the sails arising i’m deciding
the time working at a loss
the nights alone kept company
by the safety of family trade
when all the wild my wings were set
to tress me from the shade
oh thread by thread i built my skill
to be relying thus those before
while the months take a bite to the beat of the long
case
clock on the factory floor
never did my eye lids backed on my fingers
we’ll work til they’re varying up
but my heart was yearning for the chance to join
a far more ill-strious club
a st-tching tongue would’ve helped me shine
in a place that i was meant to be
but the longer the threads will wand i found
the harder the hold on me
no grudge i held on my inside yell
the song of a n-ble call
my hands were far too steady to ever deserve the
factory walls
oh thread by thread i built my skill
to be relying thus those before
while the months take a bite to the beat of the long
case
clock on the factory floor
my fingers danced in the knowledge
that one day i’d work my way on to there
but time has taught me that it was a notion
the good lord didn’t share
