lyrics

In the evening the mender sews
Haunting harmonies with her bow
Preserving the pieces of her loss
In the only way she knows

When you’ve lost your other
What’s left? what’s right?
When what you built together
Falls apart overnight

A widow looks for a new start
Something to mend a shattered heart
Embracing a chance to play a part
Only amplifies: “we’re apart”

Having fun, but not that much fun
In the years beyond the only one
Devastation as a place holder
Replacement for a crying shoulder

In the evening the mender sews
Haunting harmonies with her bow
Preserving the pieces of her loss
In the only way she knows

You play because you don’t know what else to do
What else do you do? what do you do? what can you do?
When you lost everything you built together
After enduring the foulest weather

In the evening the mender sews
Haunting harmonies with her bow
Preserving the pieces of her loss
In the only way she knows
