歌詞

The patchwork knows my shoulders

And the sofa knows the rest

Every square of this old blanket

Was a dress or was a shirt

Now they take turns keeping warm

The ones they used to skirt

My eyelids waltz in slow three-four

Agreeing to come down

Tucked beneath the patchwork

While the light turns soft and deep

In peace I will lie down and rest

For He keeps me while I sleep

The clock ticks like a metronome

That's kind about the time

The teacup's empty on the shelf

The afternoon's sublime

Each breath a little slower

Than the one that came before

Tucked beneath the patchwork

While the light turns soft and deep

In peace I will lie down and rest

For He keeps me while I sleep

Somewhere between the squares of cloth

And squares of window light

I slip into a shallow dream

Where everything's all right

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Tucked beneath the patchwork

While the light turns soft and deep

In peace I will lie down and rest

For He keeps me while I sleep

Tucked beneath the patchwork

While the light turns soft and deep

In peace I will lie down and rest

For He keeps me while I sleep

The patchwork holds my shoulders

And the quiet holds the rest
