Golden Thread (Feat. Matt Corby)

Tell me one more lie, my dear (x4)



There's lights on in a window

And a sign post in the snow

There's a golden coin beneath your pillow

There's parachutes above you,

And lifeboats below

And a heart that loves you

Yeah, I think you know



There's treasure maps well hidden

And diamonds in the dirt

There's a golden thread weaved into your shirt

There's a kiss for every tear

That rolls down your cheek

And words I shouldn't hear,

And words you shouldn't speak



So tell me one more lie, my dear

Whisper softly so nobody hears

Keep me hanging on for another year

Oh, tell me one more lie, my dear



Well there's whiskey and blanket's

And a bonfire when you're cold

I'll hold a golden breath

Till I'm silver and old

With only hope to keep alive

And only time to kill

There's a fool that loved you,

And he loves you still



So tell me one more lie, my dear

Whisper softly so nobody hears

Keep me hanging on for another year

Oh, tell me one more lie, my dear



Spin me one more tale, sweetheart

Weave golden needle and thread through my heart

Whisper all the things you know I long to hear

Oh, tell me one more lie, my dear
