Golden Thread Lyrics

We wove our souls together with a golden thread

For a moment it was beautiful

We glittered in the wind

When winter came we were so breathless

Still shaking in summer linens

As icy stones grew between us

I lost sight of your eyes

And I'm looking for the crystals that we looked into together

Told us where we'd been and where we were to go

But the sky is full of ash and I no longer have the eyes to see the things I saw so clearly there before

We swam the length of the river

Forgetting the feel of land

Hands entwined we floated weightlessly

With the emptiest of minds

First bit of bank we touched we trembled

Having forgotten all but sea legs

We gathered sticks and made a fire

But in the morning it was gone

And I'm looking for the crystals that we looked into together

Told us where we'd been and where we were to go

But the sky is full of ash and I no longer have the eyes to see the things I saw so clearly there before

But as we climbed the mountain view

Lungs bucking in the altitude

I knew in heart of hearts I knew we were dead

But love is just a thing to hold

We take in hand when feeling bold

I'd rather lose than shiver cold in my bed

We wove our souls together with a golden thread
