Thea Gilmore - Josephine Knots lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Josephine Knots lyrics]
Tie the rope tight boys tie the rope tight
Lift up your eyes and draw down the night
This chain stretches long in steel and blue
In Josephine Knots from me to you
There's a harlequin moon the
Sky's heavy with rain
The touch of a hand the sound of a name
This thread runs the branches
Of every oak tree
In Josephine Knots from you to me
From the firstborn cry to
The last whispered breath
I was here at the birth I'll
Be here at the death
In the eyes you remembered and
The smile you forgot
We are bound tightly with Josephine Knots
So give me your hand boys
At least just for now
I will hold you as long as time will allow
And when fingers slip and ribbons untie
Just look for those Josephine
Knots in the sky
Just look for those Josephine
Knots in the sky
Lift up your eyes and draw down the night
This chain stretches long in steel and blue
In Josephine Knots from me to you
There's a harlequin moon the
Sky's heavy with rain
The touch of a hand the sound of a name
This thread runs the branches
Of every oak tree
In Josephine Knots from you to me
From the firstborn cry to
The last whispered breath
I was here at the birth I'll
Be here at the death
In the eyes you remembered and
The smile you forgot
We are bound tightly with Josephine Knots
So give me your hand boys
At least just for now
I will hold you as long as time will allow
And when fingers slip and ribbons untie
Just look for those Josephine
Knots in the sky
Just look for those Josephine
Knots in the sky
