The Red Thread Lyrics

I was only a girl
When I went out on my own
You wrapped me up warm
And just let me go
Now I live at the far end
Of this long distance line
And I'm just another one
Who's gone and left you behind

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e105166-lucy_kaplansky~the_red_thread_lyrics.html ]
Wish we could look at your pictures
All the places you've been
I don't think you will
But you can see them again
'Cause you can see them through me
The brown eyes I got from you
Now I wish I could give 'em back to you

This much I can say
This much I can do
When your heart is empty
I'll try to fill it for you
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love
From watching you

Wish that I could tell you
It'll all be all right
But you never did believe it
Through the trials of your life
You and I both know
It just isn't true
When so much you love
Has been taken from you

I remember when you told me
If we run out of time
How happy you were
Just to know she'll be mine
When I wrap her up warm
You'll be right next to me
'Cause they say that the red thread that ties me to you
Ties her to me

This much I can say
This much I can do
When your heart is empty
I'll try to fill it for you
This much I can say
This much I can do
When your heart is empty
I'll try to fill it for you
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love
From watching you
Watching you
Watching you
