Letra de ' Threads ' de Blair Dunlop

Many’s the time that I have trugged this path
Towards the shop where many have browsed
Many’s the stitch that I have sown to patch
They’re closed to get shoppers housed

She stood fast for a ton of years
While my family has held the fort
Armed with a needle and a silky thread
And the will to never fall short

Thread by thread I built my skill
To be relying thus those before
While the months take a bite to the beat of the long case
Clock on the factory floor

Never did my eye lids backed on my fingers
We’ll work til they’re varying up
But my heart was yearning for the chance to join
A far more illustrious club

Clothing has served me well til now
Though I lied for it to cut my cloth
But as the sails arising I’m deciding
The time working at a loss

The nights alone kept company
By the safety of family trade
When all the wild my wings were set
To tress me from the shade

Oh thread by thread I built my skill
To be relying thus those before
While the months take a bite to the beat of the long case
Clock on the factory floor

Never did my eye lids backed on my fingers
We’ll work til they’re varying up
But my heart was yearning for the chance to join
A far more illustrious club

A stitching tongue would’ve helped me shine
In a place that I was meant to be
But the longer the threads will wand I found
The harder the hold on me

No grudge I held on my inside yell
The song of a noble call
My hands were far too steady to ever deserve the factory walls

Oh thread by thread I built my skill
To be relying thus those before
While the months take a bite to the beat of the long case
Clock on the factory floor

My fingers danced in the knowledge
That one day I’d work my way on to there

But time has taught me that it was a notion
The good lord didn’t share
