Threads

I have hands like my grandma

Rough and wide

A smile like my father

Kinda crooked at one side

And the thread of our union



Pulls through the years

Through burdens and rejoicing

Through the courage and fear

Chorus: Let the wind blow like horses



Running wild across the sky

Let the doors close and open

Pull us in or pass us by

We have followed the fabric



Where ever it led

Joined to one an other 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



Chorus: Let the wind blow like horses

Running wild across the sky

Let the doors close and open

Pull us in or pass us by



We have followed the fabric

Where ever it led

Joined to one an other by

Invisible thread

If I live to be 100



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 ghost that still haunt you

Or the secrets you won't tell

Chorus: Let the wind blow like horses



Running wild across the sky

Let the doors close and open

Pull us in or pass us by

We have followed the fabric



Where ever it led

Joined to one an other by

Invisible threads
