From the recording The Orange Thread Valentine
Lyrics
Streetlights Tilt Awake Polite And Old
Heart Dust Blooms Then Knows To Go
Stitched Seams Run Under Every Shoe
Like The Town Repaired The Road For You
I Bring My Quiet Folded Tight
Like A Letter I Wont Send
But Here Even Silence Has A Place
To Sit Down And Be A Friend
No One Asks You To Sparkle
No One Asks You To Win
They Hand You Something Ordinary
And Teach It How To Mean
Tie The Orange Thread Hold On
Tie The Orange Thread Move On
If Love Wont Sing Let It Hum
If Love Feels Cold Let It Come
Love Is Not Loud
Love Is Held
Tie The Orange Thread
And Exhale
At The Craft Table Hands Pass Time Around
Keys Buttons Dried Rose Heads Warm And Browned
A Man Ties One Knot Careful Small
It Glows One Second Then Turns Dull
He Smiles Like Thats The Secret
Of Staying Kind When Days Are Rough
We Dont Fix Hearts By Forcing
We Fix Hearts By Showing Up
I Thought Valentine Was Fireworks
But Fireworks Dont Last
This Town Prefers A Steady Light
That Never Calls You Past
Tie The Orange Thread Hold On
Tie The Orange Thread Move On
If Your Hands Shake Tie It Slow
If Your Eyes Ache Let It Glow
Love Is Not Loud
Love Is Held
Tie The Orange Thread
And Exhale
Steam From Tea Becomes One Ribbon Low
It Loops A Heart Once Then Lets It Go
Breath In The Cold Turns One Shared Cloud
Not A Vow Just People Proud
And I Learn The Line Ill Keep For Years
Some Love Is Quiet Enough To Hear
Tie The Orange Thread Hold On
Tie The Orange Thread Move On
When The World Gets Sharp And Fast
Tie One Small Thing Thats Built To Last
Love Is Not Loud
Love Is Held
Tie The Orange Thread
Until Youre Well
