歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dancing in the light
Attic air is feeling tight
I found your box of cedar wood
Underneath where the trunk once stood
Lid is heavy, hinges creak
Cold metal touches my cheek
Spools of thread in every shade
Where all the quiet plans were made
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember how you frowned
When the fabric hit the ground
Never quite the words I sought
Just the tension in the knot
[Chorus]
But here’s the love in the linen
The grace in the gray
The things that you gave
In your own quiet way
A mismatched button
A stitch out of line
I’m learning that your heart
Was woven into mine
[Post-Chorus]
Woven into mine
Stitch by stitch
Line by line
[Verse]
Recipe cards with yellow stains
Smeared by coffee and the rains
"Pinch of salt" in your looping hand
Things I couldn't understand
Why you held the silence close
Like a secret or a ghost
Now I see the hem you turned
For the daughter who never learned
[Pre-Chorus]
I was waiting for a sign
For a perfect, golden line
But you spoke in silver thimbles
And in domestic symbols
[Chorus]
But here’s the love in the linen
The grace in the gray
The things that you gave
In your own quiet way
A mismatched button
A stitch out of line
I’m learning that your heart
Was woven into mine
[Bridge]
No apology is coming now
And I don't need it anyhow
The friction of the years is gone
Like the mist before the dawn
It’s okay that we were frayed
It’s okay that we were afraid
The pattern wasn't perfect, no
But it's enough to let it go
[Interlude]
[Verse]
I pick a needle from the felt
Watch the icy memories melt
The parlor guitar hums a tune
In the fading afternoon
I'll mend this sleeve for myself
Put the anger on the shelf
Tracing patterns you once drew
Finding peace in knowing you
[Chorus]
But here’s the love in the linen
The grace in the gray
The things that you gave
In your own quiet way
A mismatched button
A stitch out of line
I’m learning that your heart
Was woven into mine
[Post-Chorus]
Woven into mine
Stitch by stitch
Line by line
Woven into mine
[Outro]
