The Needle Works

The Needle Works

Verse 1

The needle does not ask It pierces, carries, holds The cloth opens for it The way a door opens For someone who knocks

Chorus

The needle works While the world moves past The needle works It does not say what it is mending It mends

Verse 2

The wall holds the roof Forty years of rain The crack tells the truth About the weight it carries I press the lime in anyway

Chorus

The needle works While the world moves past The needle works It does not say what it is mending It mends

Bridge

And who mended it? Not me I watched I kept asking

Chorus

The needle works While the world moves past The needle works It does not say what it is mending It mends

Outro

The seam is the answer The seam is the question The wall keeps working I keep asking
