Carrie Newcomer Lyrics
"Threads"

I have hands like my grandma
Rough and wide
A smile like my father
Kinda crooked at one side
And the thread of our union

Pulls through the years
Through burdens and rejoicing
Through the courage and fear
Chorus: Let the wind blow like horses

Running wild across the sky
Let the doors close and open
Pull us in or pass us by
We have followed the fabric

Where ever it led
Joined to one an other by
Invisible thread
We were mean mama lions
With babies on our hips
Two were workin' at the grocery,
One was livin' on tips

Two fell sick and one recovered,
Three divorced and one went clean
One lost a child last April
One's still chasin' a dream

Chorus: Let the wind blow like horses
Running wild across the sky
Let the doors close and open
Pull us in or pass us by

We have followed the fabric
Where ever it led
Joined to one an other by
Invisible thread
If I live to be 100

I won't forget your eyes
Or the feel of your body
Lying next to mine

No one loves you like I do
No one knows you so well
All the ghost that still haunt you
Or the secrets you won't tell
Chorus: Let the wind blow like horses

Running wild across the sky
Let the doors close and open
Pull us in or pass us by
We have followed the fabric

Where ever it led
Joined to one an other by
Invisible threads
