[Verse 1] The same old moon is hanging over both of us tonight But there's an ocean wearing all the light too thin So I gathered up your laughter and the way you said goodbye And I held them to the dark to see where they'd fit in [Pre-Chorus] I've got a needle made of wishing And a spool of silver air I'm pulling every little memory Up the staircase of the night [Chorus] I'm sewing up the sky for you One star at a time, stitch by stitch Every memory a thread of blue Drawn across the dark until the distance Is small enough to hold I'm sewing up the sky for you [Verse 2] There's a porch light from last summer, I hung it by the north star There's a song we used to hum, it's the Milky Way now And the morning that you called me, just to say you'd seen the rain I tucked it in a cloud so it would never fade [Pre-Chorus] I've got a needle made of wishing And a spool of silver air I'm tying every little knot With the promise that you're there [Chorus] I'm sewing up the sky for you One star at a time, stitch by stitch Every memory a thread of blue Drawn across the dark until the distance Is small enough to hold I'm sewing up the sky for you [Bridge] [soft, almost whispered] And if the night should tear a little If the wind should pull a seam I'll just start again at sunset Mending what the dark can't keep [Final Chorus] [full band, building] We're sewing up the sky, you and I Under the same wide, patchwork night Every memory a thread of light And the distance is a blanket now Warm enough to hold We're sewing up the sky [Outro] [fingerpicked guitar, fading] Stitch by stitch... star by star... Goodnight, wherever you are
