The Great Unravelling - Fish

He met her;

she had me, spiraling ribbons, cut the cord away

The twists of life the knots of dreams, this was before the great unraveling

In time no strings attached so wild and free

No ties to bind, a world before us

We threaded hopes within the tapestries we wove

So far away, the great unraveling

The great unraveling- she tied my laces, sewed the buttons, spun the rhymes

The great unraveling — he taught the ropes, he spared the rod, drew the lines

The great unraveling — she slowed the blood, my beating heart the streaming

tears

The great unraveling

The strands of time, the rules and chains that bind us

That holds us down till we forget just how to fly

Bound by fears, of change from old traditions

Began to sense the great unraveling

The lives that we played before

Stretch into our past define us

Instinctively hearts entwine

Love brings us closer to carry us forward

The seeds that we sow today

The loose ends we tie and nurture

The threads that we spin and weave

To uncertain futures we usher them into the light

Into the light, into the light

Imprint the knowledge, pass the message on

I know I have to let you go

One day I have to say goodbye

I know that I will have to leave and give up to the light

Into the light
