Unraveling In Gold 2009 ( first and second versions )

It's only a matter of time
Time I do not have,
It's all you're gonna find
When the day has passed,
Into tales, not yet told
Like the sunset-unraveling in gold

( chorus )
In time I have made stitches
Woven with silence's golden thread,
Soft as silk, such riches
These well-worn dreams in my head.

It's only a matter of being
Being that I'm not here,
It's only a passing feeling
That too, shall disappear,
Into a heart going cold
Like my words-unraveling in gold

( chorus )
In time I have made stitches
Woven with silence's golden thread,
Soft as silk, such riches
These well-worn dreams in my head.

( second revised version )

( bridge )
The finest material
Soft to these calloused hands
The finest details
Never happens, but is planned
Instead, a button for my lip
Against how I really feel
All alone and hemmed in
Waiting for the light to reveal

It's only a matter of time
Time that is fading fast,
Staring at the future
Stuck in the romance of the past,
Books surfacing from the dust
Into tales, not yet told,
Well suited to the task ahead
Like the sunset-unraveling in gold

( chorus )
In time I have made stitches
Woven with silence's golden thread,
Soft as silk, such riches
These well-worn dreams in my head.

It's only a matter of being
Being that I'm no longer here,
It's only a passing glimpse of hope
That too, shall disappear,
Books surfacing from the dust
Into tales, not yet told,
Well suited to the task ahead
Like the sunset-unraveling in gold

( chorus )
In time I have made stitches
Woven with silence's golden thread,
Soft as silk, such riches
These well-worn dreams in my head.
