"You've got to pick up every stitch" implies as in witchcraft not to leave anything "personal" behind i.e. clothing, hair, fingernails, blood. This is because it is "The season of the witch" and witches cast spells. I suggest a little background research on Donovan.

Well, that or he wanted a rhyme for "witch".
