Loose Thread in the Wind

[Verse 1] You walked in late Like a rumor Silver boots and a sideways grin Lipstick crooked on your coffee cup Trouble drawn on your skin You laughed like you’d stolen the daylight Kicked your heels on my stair Said “Love’s just borrowed cigarettes” Then you tossed me that stare [Chorus] Forever’s too short For a heart like mine I didn’t have you yesterday And I won’t miss you tomorrow this time Life flies away like loose thread in the wind So I’ll love you right now I’ll love you right now And then [Verse 2] We danced on a crooked kitchen floor Midnight crumbs and cheap red wine You tore the tag from my favorite shirt Said “Baby That’s a better sign” You drew a crown on my shoulder With a match With a shaking hand Said “We’re kings for a quarter-hour” Then you kissed me where I stand [Chorus] Forever’s too short For a heart like mine I didn’t have you yesterday And I won’t miss you tomorrow this time Life flies away like loose thread in the wind So I’ll love you right now I’ll love you right now And then [Bridge] [Soft piano Vocal close and dry] Maybe I’ll wake up alone Just your glitter in the sink I’ll raise a glass to the ghost of you And forget your name before I blink (oh yeah) [Chorus] Forever’s too short For a heart like mine I didn’t have you yesterday And I won’t miss you tomorrow this time Life flies away like loose thread in the wind So I’ll love you right now I’ll love you right now And then [Outro] [Guitar solo with rising distortion Choir swelling in] Forever’s too short (forever’s too short) Life flies away (life flies away) [Group Chant – grand female background singers] Hey Hey Let it go Loose thread in the wind Let it go (let it go) Hey Hey Don’t you know I didn’t have you yesterday I won’t miss you tomorrow Hey Hey Let it go Loose thread in the wind Let it go (let it go) Hey Hey One more show Forever’s too short So we let it go (let it go)
