Stitch The Hem Lyrics

All the while, the sea oats bowed
Against the dunes, your arms stretched out
And how the shadows glide
The story hastens by
We hold on tight

The drafty night lets the quiet in
And our breath in the same motion
There's a hope that we have what we need
Stitch the hem along the edge of these scenes and colors
Find the form in the patient seed

But nature is a vibrant quilt
And all I want is it all stretched out
To the tattered edge
Through the long afternoon
The sun snuffed out, in the palm of the ocean

The drafty night lets the quiet in
And our breath in the same motion
There's a hope that we have what we need
Stitch the hem along the edge of these scenes and colors
Find the light in our time here, given
Find the depth in our hearts' intentions,
Like the starch in the patient seed

Lyric Correction

I feel like this song is generally about making the most of your preciously limited time on earth, making do with the gifts given you, and wanting nothing more but to live and to cherish each moment.
