Blue Thread Road (v.2)

[Verse 1]
I left at dawn with salt on my coat
Boots in the mud, one hand on the rope
Your porch light dimmed in a frost-bit town
Still hear that screen door when the sun went down

[Verse 2]
At the river bend, the reeds bent low
I kept your note in my glove, let it go
A ferris wheel turned by the market square
And every face there felt like you were there

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on
We rise again
Hold on
Till the road bends in

[Chorus]
Blue thread road
Take me home
Blue thread road
I’m not alone
Blue thread road
Spin me high
Blue thread road
Under the sky

[Verse 3]
On the train bridge, the old bells rang
Mile by mile, the same wind sang
I saw your scarf in a bakery door
Like a little red flag on the packed snow floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on
We rise again
Hold on
Till the road bends in

[Chorus]
Blue thread road
Take me home
Blue thread road
I’m not alone
Blue thread road
Spin me high
Blue thread road
Under the sky

[Bridge]
And when the night leans in my way
I hear the clatter, I hear you say
Keep your name like a spark in hand
Cross that line, then stand, then stand

[Chorus]
Blue thread road
Take me home
Blue thread road
I’m not alone
Blue thread road
Spin me high
Blue thread road
Under the sky
