Reveal The Tapestry Suzan Stroud
Verse 1
Somewhere along the way
Something went wrong
Maybe I let the moth
Eat at the fabric too long
It would have been easy
To wipe the glitter from his wings
But I never thought to fight
The delicate things
Chorus
Reveal the tapestry
Unveil the strings
Wonder what I’ve woven
When I thought I’d come unwound
Reveal the tapestry
Unveil the strings
Retie and intertwine
The knots, repel the wings
Verse 2
I know when the last one went
I felt it go
A well calculated snip to the thread
Near the throat
How long could I have hung on to that strand
I’ve got the broken thread of meaning
In my hand
Chorus
Reveal the tapestry
Unveil the strings
Wonder what I’ve woven
When I thought I’d come unwound
Reveal the tapestry
Unveil the strings
Retie and intertwine
The knots, repel the wings
Bridge (instrumental)
Verse 3
I could weave the pattern
That wouldn’t last
But why rebuild designs
That unravel so fast
I have not silenced the powdery wings
That keep the weave of sanity
From my wings
Chorus
Reveal the tapestry
Unveil the strings
Wonder what I’ve woven
When I thought I’d come unwound
Reveal the tapestry
Unveil the strings
Retie and intertwine
The knots, repel the wings
