lyrics

Hanging by a thread
Teetering along life's edges
Hanging by a thread

Clinging on starts to sap her strength
While shadows and silhouettes whisper contempt
Still she hopes for some magic charm
To conjure a hero to pull her from harm

Suspended there, in that secret place
Her fibres and filaments conceive her escape
She can sew - could she stitch some space?
Gather her strands and then weave a new shape?

Resolute, she pledges to spin and to weave
To salvage and to darn
This act of restoration is saving the seamstress and her yarn

Summoning her power, she spins and she weaves
She salvages and darns
This act of restoration is saving
The seamstress and her yarn
