guess you wouldn't notice
if you didn't know where to look
But I saw the love you sewed
into those wedding clothes
I saw the way it danced
along the unfinished seams
How you weaved it in the corn
of that tender wreath
But when you're frightened
by the evening
and still burning from the sun
When the words fly by like cinders
and they stick to your skin
Can you see you're not alone
as I have the mark in my eyes
When the fury sting like lovers,
yeah I know how it feels
So Annie don't you cry,
if you're holding on
There's fearful winds by your fingertips
To the threads that guide
you on
To a better life
Hey Sissy can you see the way
I stumble along my path
If you think I walk with sureness,
it's just a trick of the light
I don't know the way I'm supposed to be,
I don't know the way at all
So would you hold my hand
as I hit every wall?
So when you're frightened
by the evening
and still burning from the sun
When the words lie by like cinders
and they stick to your skin
Can you see you're not alone
as I have the mark in my eyes?
When the furies sing like lovers,
yeah, I know how it feels
So Annie, don't you cry
If you're holding on
There's fearful winds by your fingertips
To the threads that guide you
Holding on
There's fearful winds by our fingertips
To the threads that guide
us on
To a better life
Hey, hey, hey
So Annie, don't you cry
If you're holding on
These fearful winds by your fingertips
To the threads that guide you
Holding on
These fearful winds by your fingertips
To the threads that guide us
to a better life
