The Thread of Your Words
So hand me the thread of your words for me to lace about my neck
To drape over the chapel's overhang
To fasten with a slipknot
To weigh down with a bucket of my tears that I've collected over the years
They won't know why I did it, you'll be the only one
And when they ask you if you knew, you'll say you had not a clue
Because you'll know it was you
