Unravelling Lyrics - The Crane Wives

I once loved a tailor 

Who took eager care of me, 

Sewed together my loose ends 

With stitches neat and clean. 

But now my love is gone 

And I am left unraveling 

Unravelling 

I once loved a gardener 

With his dirt-smudged face and hands, 

Trimmed my weeds and gave me room 

To grow my flowers again. 

But now my love is gone 

And I am left here withering 

Withering 

I once loved a carpenter 

Who carved a smile for me, 

Sanded my rough edges, 

Crafted new and lovely things. 

But now my love is gone 

And I can't help the fracturing. 

I never knew 

That I 

Needed you.
