lyrics
There’s a place, where things are mended,
where the stitches are all sewed.
There’s a shore that’s never ended
Where thread of life can bear the load.
But don’t go back unto that ocean
don’t go back to that tide.
For the earth is set in motion.
And it’ll be there on the other side.
There was a girl in old Decorah
Where the sky is painted red
There was an old burr oak by the fence post
A yellow quilt upon mom and daddy’s bed.
But don’t go back unto that ocean
don’t go back to that great tide.
For the earth is set in motion.
And it’ll be there on the other side.
And when we fall, we fall together
And when we fly, we fly among the clouds
The way is long, but it’s warm beside the fire
And the path unfolds beyond the bow.
Well stitches, they get busted.
And trees, they get full grown.
But like a diamond in a tin
there’s a place that’s deep within
And there I’ll meet you
Where the stitches are all sewed
And when we fall, we fall together
And when we fly, we fly among the clouds
The way is long, but it’s warm beside the fire
And the path unfolds beyond the bow.
