[D]
When you call to me asleep, up the ragged cliffs I scramble
A [Bm] single thread [N] hangs limply down, and I breathe not now, [Bm] not now
And I find you all unwoven, trying desperately to sew
And I know the [G] kindest thing is [D]
to leave you alone
[G] When your seams have come unnitten, and you cry out [D] to the sky
I've run out [G] of my words, my song, just let me die, [D] me die
The rock rose and the thistle will whistle as you moan
[A]
[D] I could try to calm you down, [B]
[D] but I know [B] you [Bm] won't
All the pains inside your fretted [G] head, and your muttered whens and hows
All your mother's weaves and your [B] father's threads, [D] let me rob them of you now
Cause I'll darn you back together, when you [C#] think that you're bereft
And you'll wail, you'll scream, but I'll [D] never stop, cause it's all that [C#] I have [D] left
I wake and hear you calling, and up those cliffs I climb
I find you with a thimble weeping
May I, I ask, may I, then be gently gifted to me
Cause [Gm] you've no clue how to [D] sew
And I know the kindest thing, I pray to [G#] God it's the [G] kindest thing
I [D]
know the [N] kindest thing is to never leave you
And I know
When you call to me asleep, up the ragged cliffs I scramble
A [Bm] single thread [N] hangs limply down, and I breathe not now, [Bm] not now
And I find you all unwoven, trying desperately to sew
And I know the [G] kindest thing is [D]
to leave you alone
[G] When your seams have come unnitten, and you cry out [D] to the sky
I've run out [G] of my words, my song, just let me die, [D] me die
The rock rose and the thistle will whistle as you moan
[A]
[D] I could try to calm you down, [B]
[D] but I know [B] you [Bm] won't
All the pains inside your fretted [G] head, and your muttered whens and hows
All your mother's weaves and your [B] father's threads, [D] let me rob them of you now
Cause I'll darn you back together, when you [C#] think that you're bereft
And you'll wail, you'll scream, but I'll [D] never stop, cause it's all that [C#] I have [D] left
I wake and hear you calling, and up those cliffs I climb
I find you with a thimble weeping
May I, I ask, may I, then be gently gifted to me
Cause [Gm] you've no clue how to [D] sew
And I know the kindest thing, I pray to [G#] God it's the [G] kindest thing
I [D]
know the [N] kindest thing is to never leave you
And I know
