The Red Thread Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

I was only a girl when I went out on my own 

You wrapped me up warm and just let me go 

Now I live at the far end of this long distance line 

And I'm just another one who's gone and left you behind 

Wish we could look at your pictures, all the places you've been 

I don't think you will but you can see them again 

'Cause you can see them through me 

The brown eyes I got from you 

Now I wish I could give 'em back to you 

This much I can say, this much I can do 

When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you 

'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you 

Wish that I could tell you it'll all be alright 

But you never did believe it through the trials of your life 

You and I both know it just isn't true 

When so much you love has been taken from you 

I remember when you told me if we run out of time 

How happy you were just to know she'll be mine 

When I wrap her up warm, you'll be right next to me 

'Cause they say that the red thread that ties me to you 

Ties her to me 

This much I can say, this much I can do 

When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you 

This much I can say, this much I can do 

When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you 

'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you 

Watching you, watching you
