Bound by a Thread Lyrics by Gaelynn Lea

Learning How to Stay

2018

Bound bound bound
By a thread
Going down down
Through the ages
You could’ve stayed
But you came here instead
To fill my life’s empty pages

And I
I do believe
We’ll see the fruits of our labor
Maybe not now
Maybe lifetimes ahead
If only love would be our guide

(Instrumental Break)

Bound bound bound
By a thread
Going down down
Through the ages
You could’ve stayed
But you came here instead
To fill my life’s empty pages

And I
I do believe
We’ll see the fruits of our labor
Maybe not now
Maybe lifetimes ahead
If only love would be our guide
Our guide
Our guide
Our guide
Our guide
If only love would be our guide
