Carrie Newcomer - Threads lyrics

I have hands like my grandma Rough and wide A smile like my father Kinda crooked on one side And the thread of our union Pulls through the years Through the burdens and rejoicing Through the courage and the fear Let the wind blow like horses Running wild across the sky Let the doors close and open Pull us in or pa** us by We have all followed the fabric Wherever it led Joined to one another by Invisible thread We were mean mama lions With babies on our hips Two were workin' at the grocery One was livin' on tips Two fell sick and one recovered Three divorced and one went clean One lost a child last April One's still chasin' a dream Let the wind blow like horses Running wild across the sky Let the doors close and open Pull us in or pa** us by We have all followed the fabric Wherever it led Joined to one another by Invisible thread If I live to be a hundred I won't forget your eyes Or the feel of your body Lying next to mine No one loves you like I do No one knows you so well All the ghosts that still haunt you Or the secrets you won't tell Let the wind blow like horses Running wild across the sky Let the doors close and open Pull us in or pa** us by We have all followed the fabric Wherever it led Joined to one another by Invisible thread
