Needle and Thread

Through the needles I am running
through the needles, through the needles,
I am running through the needles
and I’m bleeding home to you.
Through the needle’s eye the thread is
slowly threading, slowly threading.
I am bleeding through the needles
and I’m running home to you.
I am treading and I’m bleeding
I am needing and I’m threading,
I am running through the needles,
through the needles home to you.
I am bleeding through the netting
of the feeble needle’s webbing,
through the needles, through the needles
I am running home to you.
There are secret people meeting
and they’re bleeding, and they’re bleeding,
people meeting while I’m running,
while I’m threading home to you.
I am running through the needles,
I am running, I am running,
through the needles I am running
and I’m bleeding home to you.
