Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My fingers move without a rest
Through evening's fading light
The work before me must be done
Before the stars shine bright
[Chorus]
The thread keeps spinning, spinning, spinning
The thread keeps spinning on and on
The thread keeps spinning, spinning, spinning
Until the dark has gone
[Verse 2]
My neighbors call me to come down
Their voices fade away
The pattern growing in my hands
Has something more to say
[Chorus]
The thread keeps spinning, spinning, spinning
The thread keeps spinning on and on
The thread keeps spinning, spinning, spinning
Until the dark has gone
[Bridge]
My hands are tired, my eyes grow weak
The night wind starts to moan
But something deeper keeps me here
(Something in my bones)
I cannot stop, I dare not pause
This work must carry on
[Verse 3]
The morning light begins to break
My work is almost through
Each thread connects to something more
That only I can do
[Chorus]
The thread keeps spinning, spinning, spinning
The thread keeps spinning on and on
The thread keeps spinning, spinning, spinning
Until the dark has gone
[Outro]
(The thread keeps spinning...)
(The thread keeps spinning...)
