Threads of the Sea (Penelope’s Song)

[Verse 1] I weave by day, and I dream by night A widow in all but the black and white They say he’s gone, they say move on But my heart still hears his sailor’s song [Chorus] Oh, the sea can steal and the years can lie But I won’t let go ‘til the loom runs dry Let the tides roll in, let the suitors pine My heart is his, and his is mine [Verse 2] The walls grow cold, the halls grow bare Each step he took still lingers there A thousand hands reach for my throne But I sleep each night like I’m not alone [Chorus] Oh, the sea can steal and the world forget But I ain’t done with my promise yet Let 'em drink my wine, let 'em count my time My soul is his, and his is mine [Bridge] They don't see the thread I hide The weaving done, then undone each night It’s hope that holds this tapestry And every knot spells “come to me” [Verse 3] Now I hear the tales of a man grown old With eyes like storms and a heart still bold He walks through fire, he don’t look back He’s comin’ home with the world on his back [Final Chorus] Oh, the sea can try and the gods can scheme But love holds fast in the harshest dream Let the stars bear witness, the fates entwine My heart is his… and his is mine
