There's a silver thread running through her indigo eyes Through the songs she would sing under bluebird skies Through the wind that keeps dancing through those two poplar trees Through the shine in the ocean and the prayers on our knees There's a silver thread woven through our laughter and tears Through panic attacks and our very worst fears Through death's hand that takes us and walks us back home Through the hope of the stars and hearts heavy as stone Nothing could break it or sever the ties Of the silver thread running through her indigo eyes It's stronger than anything you've ever known And I'll hold on forever 'til it takes me back home There's a silver thread running through everything From the dust on your bicycle and silence that stings Through the snow on the mountain and the Wilson Lake breeze Through the warmth from the fire and the October leaves There's a silver thread running through your memory And it brings deeper color to everything And I'm here in the city, you're out there somewhere And I love you forever, forever, I swear Nothing could break it or sever the ties Of the silver thread running through her indigo eyes It's stronger than anything you've ever known And I'll hold on forever I'll hold on forever I will hold on forever 'til it takes me back home
