My love she takes a needle and a thread With abox of cloth she keeps under the bed And she makes a form where there was none A house, a square, a star, a moon, a sun She sews the world with love We sleep beneath a comforter she made From some old faded jeans of mine she saved And it warms us on a winter night And cheers us in the summer light because She sews the world with love And if she ever leaves me it'll be her final rest
I'll spend my days knowing that I have loved the best And if I go before her and leave this world below I leave my music for posterity But my love will get my clothes We made a child in the first part of the year And on a singer's pay we've had our share of fear But we'll wrap the the babe in swaddling clothes With quilts and shirts and pants and hats she sews She sews the world with love
