Thread

I should have seen it coming 
But I dreamed it all too slow
I knew the sirens were close
But I guess had nothing to show

And still you stretched your hand out
And we walked the lonely road
And the bird that got caught in your kitchen porch
Is a satellite guiding us home

Don't you be uncertain 
I know you won't be long
Pull on the thread, and you go ahead
You know how I want to be led by someone

So everything is hanging
Like the washing overhead 
Yesterday night I was screaming 
And we were unmaking the bed

And now if you could see me
With my head under the tap 
Washing away all the words that I said and can't take back 

Don't let me be uncertain 
Tell me that I'm wrong
Pull on the thread, you go ahead
You know how I long to be led by someone 

Pull on the thread, you go ahead
You know how I long to be led
