Threading Water - Glen Hansard

Threading water

Making it through

Thanking the lord

For the gift of you

Falling behind some

And catching up

Finding our own pace

Yeah, that’s good enough

Back for the weekend

Back with no doubts

I’m in now and I’m not backing out

Threading

Threading water

Carrying wood

Got more than I hoped for

With this unending good

My writer and poet

My seer of true

I can see further when I’m with you

And you’re working the lines up

Thinning them down

Rolling the words round in your mouth

Threading

Threading water

Giving thanks and praise

Thanking the gods

For the rest of my days

A time now for reaping

A time to reflect

A time now I know we won’t forget

And here’s to not knowing

Faith with no proof

I can see further when I’m with you

Threading water
