Gm          Bb
When you call to me asleep
        Am              Dm
Up the ragged cliffs I scramble
   Gm                  Bb
A single thread hangs limply down
       Am                  Dm
And I breathe not now, not now
       Gm            Bb
And I find you all unwoven
        Am            Dm
Trying desperately to sew
       Gm               Bb
And I know the kindest thing
        Am       Dm
Is to leave you alone


[Verse 2]
            Gm               Bb
When your seams have come unknitted
         Am             Dm
And you cry out to the sky
     Gm              Bb
I've run out of my words, my song
      Am             Dm
Just let me die, me die
     Gm              Bb
The rockrose and the thistle
       Am            Dm
Will whistle as you moan
        Gm               Bb
I could try to calm you down
       Am        Dm
But I know you won't


[Verse 3]
         Gm                Bb
All the pins inside your fretted head
          Am                Dm
And your muttered whens and hows
          Gm                       Bb
All your mother's weaves and your father's threads
       Am              Dm
Let me rob them of you now
             Gm              Bb
'Cause I'll darn you back together
          Am                 Dm
When you think that you're bereft
            Gm                            Bb
And you'll wail, you'll scream, but I'll never stop
             Am              Dm
'Cause it's all that I have left


[Verse 4]
   Gm                 Bb
I wake and hear you calling
    Am                Dm
And up those cliffs I climb
       Gm               Bb
And I find you with a thimble weeping
    Am            Dm
May I, I ask, may I?
         Gm              Bb
And you gently gift it to me
              Am              Dm
'Cause you've no clue how to sew
       Gm              Bb
And I know the kindest thing
          Am                      Dm
I pray to God it's the kindest thing
    Gm             Bb
I know the kindest thing
       Am               Dm
Is to never leave you alone
