Lyrics
Forever In These Seams
©2016 Kathy Gordon
VS1
Well, I finally got that old chair recovered,
But look behind there hanging above it,
Proudly framed like the finest tapestry you ever saw.
The old red fabric faded and torn
Ragged at the seams and around the corners
Didn't have the heart to just toss away these pieces of my soul.
CHORUS
When I stripped away the fabric, pulled out the foam and feathers,
Got down to those brass tacks that held it all together.
It was still strong, and it's still strong
VS2
A frame that's lasted through these years
Of love and comfort, dirt and tears,
Through every memory of my life, and every sleepy dream
From sippin' Kool-Aid in my mother's lap,
Through kids and movies and Sunday naps.
Forever in my mind, forever in these seams.
CHORUS
Oh when you strip away the fabric, pull out the foam and feathers,
And you get down to those brass tacks that hold it all together.
It's still strong, it's still strong
BRIDGE:
That old red cloth hanging on the wall holds the story my life
It's stained and tattered, dirty and worn.
But what really matters are the stories it bore,
Oh when you, strip away the fabric, pull out the foam and feathers,
Get down to those brass tacks that keep it all together.
It's still strong, it's still strong
END:
A frame that's lasted through these years
Of love and comfort, dirt and tears,
Forever in my mind, forever in these seams.
