The Magic Lantern - Stitches lyrics

Artist: The Magic Lantern

album: Love of Too Much Living


We're all a stitch
Cut from the same thread
The thread weaves back through time
An umbilical line
From a fireside 400, 000 years ago
To all those who'll be born tomorrow
And the needle's eye's no coincidence
And each stitch is blind to its consequence
Don't let the fire go out
Don't let the fire go out
Let it burn!
We're all a square of earth
Fertile with dreams and desires
And to dust we'll all return
It's a hard lesson to learn
That youth can't conceive of its' ending
Until the back like the branch starts bending
Then a weariness falls without a sound
And if heaven exists it's in the ground
So stick your hands deep in the soil
The earthworm's a marvel of industry and toil
Feel the earth!
We're all pure energy
That can't be created or destroyed
We just change from form to form
An electrical storm
That crackles with all the events of our lives
And from birth to death a spark survives
So soon enough we'll meet the ground as lightening
To fire another day as it's brightening
You did your best right to the end
Turned the machines off and let the breath expend
And that was love
