[Bridge] I'm your silent guard I'm not your vanguard But I’m a threadbare confidant Though I was sewn by someone else’s aunt Still I am [Chorus] Sock monkey on the windowsill just watching With buttons for my eyes Stitch a little pillow for your doubt Not to make a big kerfuffle Say I’m the only fluff in your duffle Stitch a little pillow for your doubt [Verse 1] I have a yarn to recite From my perch in partial light Though my limbs are floppy and I’m missing my tag on the right But I guard this corner well From the whirr of doorbell hell My mission’s understated And delightfully outdated I’m stitched to care Like a loop-de-loop in midair I’m always there [Chorus] Sock monkey on the windowsill just watching With buttons for my eyes Stitch a little pillow for your doubt Not to make a big kerfuffle Say I’m the only fluff in your duffle Stitch a little pillow for your doubt [Bridge 2] I'm your only thread I'm not your only thread But I’m a twisty woolen thread Who sits where the plants forget to spread And I’m fed [Verse 2] There’s a painting hung above me Of a rabbit in a boat I asked it once politely If it knew how to float It said, “That’s not my function, sir” With paint that seemed to slur So now I steer by feel In this very real unreal I’m old, but spry With a fluff-filled lullaby That doesn’t lie [Chorus – Reprise] Sock monkey on the windowsill just watching With buttons for my eyes Stitch a little pillow for your doubt Not to make a big kerfuffle Say I’m the only fluff in your duffle Stitch a little pillow for your doubt [Outro – Layered vocals, round-style] While you’re dreaming Keep a button peeking From the pillow for your doubt While you're yawning Hear me softly fawning From the pillow for your doubt Not to make a big kerfuffle Say I’m the only fluff in your duffle Stitch a little pillow for your doubt
