Stitch the Hem - Bowerbirds
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, ooh
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 sea

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, ooh
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' intention

Like the starch in the patient seed
