Thread

I pull the thread out of the air Golden and shining, as thin as a hair I couldn't do nothing but hold it and stare I don't know why it was hovering there I felt it pull on something inside My chest was heaving, the knot came untied It freed me to move, stirred from my soul Determined to never again be alone Wrapping the golden thread tight 'round my wrist I picture you singing to wolves in the mist You were my companion, but you left me behind A frown on your face and revenge on your mind The wolves are long gone, the years have flown by I slept on a cliff side with views of the sky Hoping that maybe you'd visit anew, oh yeah, yeah The site where your soul left and upwards it flew Now this thread fills me again with resolve A mission to go on, a mystery to solve I soar above treetops with the thread as my guide It's pulling me closer to you as I glide As I glide I then see a churchyard with only one stone (as I glide) With writing unusual, the body unknown (as I glide) Did you pass by here when you set out alone? The words bring no comfort and chill to the bone Etch some words, arrange them well It seems you've got a lot to tell Writings echo what you think Using shadows as your ink You chisel memories in stone These thoughts are yours and yours alone You're alone (you're alone) You're alone (you're alone) You're alone (you're alone) Lay down the words, relax your grasp And sleep beneath the epitaph You're alone (you're alone) You're alone (you're alone) You're alone (you're alone)
