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.
