F                                Dm                      C
This is the beginning and the end. The rise and the fall.
     Bm                                      Em                                F E7
Our gait will begin its saunter at the source, when the infant learns to crawl.

Verse 1:
Am         C            Dm
Place your hand on mine.
  G        E
Untie your mind.
Am       C            F    G                  C
Let your bloated brain balloon and float away.
Em      G   Dm     F
Wet the end of the thread.
Am       Dm F       E    E7
Thimble upon your index.

Chorus:
Am             C
Set the needle on its path,
F              G
Bobbing up and down and past.
Am                  C
Tears and seams all turn to one
F                     Dm   C     E
With every stitch and each spool spun.

Verse 2:
Am            C
Feed the line through its eye.
Dm               G
Draw it from the other side.
Am                 C       Dm
Pull the strand to satisfy.
    G          C
The need to compose.
Bm          E7
The genetic map.
    Dm   Em    F
The scientific gap.
C     Am         E
The detailed blueprints.
E                  E7
Swept away under carpets.

Chorus:
Am             C
All we did was thread the eye
F             Dm   G
Of the silver splinter.
Am            C
We simply planted the seed
F                         E  E7
And nursed it through the winter.

Bridge:
    C       E     Dm
The rest is up to you
   G       F           G
To do with what you'll do.

   C                  Am
To learn and love and laugh
          Dm            G
Until the cycle circles back
C             Em            Dm         G
I'll just separate, weigh anchor, disengage
  C            Em         F       E      A
Divide and disappear. And see you in the mirror.
