lyrics

He kept his heart hidden under his sweater, knowing better than to trust the beat. Keeping all the heat in, and all the sweetness.

Then his yarn did unravel, travel up his sleeves and brought him to his knees, oh my darling!

So oh dear, if you please, the needle and the thread are in the cupboard overhead. They say it’s tricky business, darning all that distance,
sewing up the time and trying to keep our lines straight.
Ironing out the ache and mending all the longing, patching up the pain and
hanging our mistakes out to dry…

Oh my darling, did you pull your tears in off the line?
Oh my darling, how did you find the time to be so charming?

Do you forgive the leaves for falling? They tend to every autumn, leaving us so bare,
At least I put my faith that snowflakes will replace them, cover up our tracks if we ever try to look back…

Oh my darling, did you hang your anger out on the line?
Oh my darling, how did you find the time to be so charming?

We kept our faith with the fireflies, sealed up in a jar, on the window sill they lived… and I think of you still, and the songs you left that linger, draw figures in the dust, misunderstanding in the sand.

Oh my darling! Oh my darling. Oh darling, oh my darling.
