Fish - The Great Unraveling lyrics

He met her, she had me Spiralling ribbons, cut the cord away The twists of life, the knots of dreams This was before the great unraveling In time, no strings attached, so wild and free No ties to bind, a world before us We threaded hopes within the tapestries we wove So far away, the great unraveling The great unraveling She tied my laces, sewed the bu*tons, spun the rhymes The great unraveling He taught the ropes, he spared the rod, he drew the lines The great unraveling She slowed the blood, my beating heart, the streaming tears The great unraveling The strands of time, the rules and chains that bind us That holds us down till we forget just how to fly Bound by fears, of change from old traditions Began to sense the great unraveling The great unraveling She tied my laces, sewed the bu*tons, spun the rhymes The great unraveling He taught the ropes, he spared the rod, he drew the lines The great unraveling She slowed the blood, my beating heart, the streaming tears The great unraveling The lives that we played before Stretch into our past define us Instinctively hearts entwine Love brings us closer to carry us forward The seeds that we sow today The loose ends we tie and nurture The threads that we spin and weave To uncertain futures, we usher them into the light Into the light, into the light Into the light, into the light Imprint the knowledge, pa** the message on I know I have to let you go One day I have to say goodbye I know that I will have to leave and give up to the light Into the light
