Tom: Dm
Gm Bb
When you call to me asleep
Am Dm
Up the ragged cliffs I scramble
Gm Bb
A single thread hangs limply down
Am Dm
And I breathe not now, not now
Gm Bb
And I find you all unwoven
Am Dm
Trying desperately to sew
Gm Bb
And I know the kindest thing
Am Dm
Is to leave you alone
[Verse 2]
Gm Bb
When your seams have come unknitted
Am Dm
And you cry out to the sky
Gm Bb
I've run out of my words, my song
Am Dm
Just let me die, me die
Gm Bb
The rockrose and the thistle
Am Dm
Will whistle as you moan
Gm Bb
I could try to calm you down
Am Dm
But I know you won't
[Verse 3]
Gm Bb
All the pins inside your fretted head
Am Dm
And your muttered whens and hows
Gm Bb
All your mother's weaves and your father's threads
Am Dm
Let me rob them of you now
Gm Bb
'Cause I'll darn you back together
Am Dm
When you think that you're bereft
Gm Bb
And you'll wail, you'll scream, but I'll never stop
Am Dm
'Cause it's all that I have left
[Verse 4]
Gm Bb
I wake and hear you calling
Am Dm
And up those cliffs I climb
Gm Bb
And I find you with a thimble weeping
Am Dm
May I, I ask, may I?
Gm Bb
And you gently gift it to me
Am Dm
'Cause you've no clue how to sew
Gm Bb
And I know the kindest thing
Am Dm
I pray to God it's the kindest thing
Gm Bb
I know the kindest thing
Am Dm
Is to never leave you alone
