jay ungar & molly mason - the unbroken thread lyrics

[verse 1]
listen to the cl!ck of the needle and thimble
while watching the winter snow
she sits and sews so neat and so nimble
she just lets her fingers go

[verse 2]
with pieces and scr+ps of bright+colored cotton
and patterns from long ago
she captures a scene she’d almost forgotten
forever in calico

[pre+chorus]
the unbroken thread runs through the towns
and villages of these hills
blue mountain maid
in the heart of the catsk!lls

[chorus]
our wives and grandmothers
and sisters and brothers
their hands sew the years
and our dreams back together again

[post+chorus]
cross cross, diamonds, catch me if you can
farmer boy, honeycomb, birds in the air
rising sun, tree of life, wild goose chase, broken dishes
blazing sun, autumn leaf, tree of paradise
[verse 3]
minute by minute and hour by hour
each day the pattern grows
will it be stars, log cabins, or flowers?
only the maker knows

[verse 4]
as each quilt unfolds it’s a blessing upon us
to see what those hands have done
and every stitch holds an unbroken promise
to carry the vision on

[pre+chorus]
the unbroken thread runs through the towns
and villages of these hills
blue mountain maid
in the heart of the catsk!lls

[chorus]
our wives and grandmothers
and sisters and brothers
their hands sew the years
and our dreams back together again

[outro]
rising star, tree of life, wild goose chase, broken dishes (cross cross, diamonds, catch me if you can)
blazing sun, autumn leaf, tree of paradise (farmer boy, honeycomb, birds in the air)
steeplechase, irish chain, [?], rose of sharon (bear’s paw, bowtie, tree everlasting)
spiderweb, weathervane, star of betlehem (north wind, leapfrog, carpenter’s wheel)
and grandmother’s flower garden, [?], rose of sharon (ocean waves, storm at sea, sunshine and shadow)
log cabin, wedding ring, trip around the world (winding walk, rambling road, world without end)
rising star, tree of life, wild goose chase, broken dishes (cross cross, diamonds, catch me if you can)
blazing sun, autumn leaf, tree of paradise (farmer boy, honeycomb, birds in the air)
steeplechase, irish chain, tree of life, rose of sharon (bear’s paw, bowtie, tree everlasting)
spiderweb, weathervane, star of betlehem (north wind, leapfrog, carpenter’s wheel)
grandmother’s flower garden, [?] (ocean waves, storm at sea, sunshine and shadow)
log cabin, wedding ring (winding walk, rambling road)

the unbroken thread
