SLENDER THREAD, Lyrics by Kate Wolf

She's weaving him a pillow full of dreams,
Soft winter wool, and summer flees,
With the colors of the berries that grow among the hills,
Strands of cloudy gray and deep blue indigo.

And she sits beside the open door
in the evening sun,
combs the card and board in her lap
Her long hair all undone.

Talking to the one she loves,
As she weaves the hand-spun yarn
Like a web around her, a veil
to keep her safe from harm.

She dances in his heart like a feather.
So fine the threads
that binds the souls together.
She's weaving him a pillow for his head.
Sometimes the strongest love
Hangs by such a slender thread.

He always loved to sing those country songs
'Bout his mountain home and love gone wrong,
That one about an old friend,
Riding with a highway sign.
But his favorites were the ones
That play between the lines.

He would sit on the porch
in the evening light,
With a guitar in his hand
singing through the night.

Weaving pictures in her mind
with every single word,
But the songs he wrote for her
were the only ones she heard.

She had his drifter's heart on a tether,
So fine a thread
that bound these souls together.
She loved to her him sing.
That's what she said.
Sometimes the strongest love
hangs by such a slender thread.

(music interlude)

See him lying there with broken bones,
A child's smile, a man full grown.
If he'd gone just another inch,
By now, he would be dead.
These times of life can hang
by such a slender thread.

He can only thank the stars,
For another day.
And then he has to choose
to live another way.
He can't ask her “How?” this time.
She's already said:
“The fine line that you walk
is just a slender thread.”

She knows his heart can be
as tough as leather,
So strong the threads
that bind these souls together.

Still he counts the stars inside his head,
Sometimes the strongest love
hangs by a slender thread.
She's weaving him
a pillow for his head.

Come up and be a kite

Beelzebub is aching in my belly-oh
My feet are heavy and I'm rooting in my wellios
And I wanna get away and go
From all these mirror windows

I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find it out, when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me

Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon

Come up and be a kite
I feel a rush along my body like a bullet
I'm 2D, after a push and pull feelin'
And I wanna get back to safe home
I love the homeland dome

I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
I'm not sure if I wanna be up here at all
And I'd like to be back on the ground
But I don't know how to get down, down, down

Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
Over the lights, ooh, under the moon
Over the lights, ooh, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon

Come up and be a kite
Come up and be a kite
