Lyrics
There's a spool of indigo thread
On the sill by the window bed
The dye is dark and deep
Go to sleep, my love, go to sleep
[Chorus]
Just a single strand
Held here in my hand
Close your eyes and I will mend you

Held here in my hand
Close your eyes and I will mend you
Yes, I will mend you
[Bridge]
A patch for every tear
To keep you ever near
A stitch to hold you fast
A knot that's made to last
[Outro]
I will mend you
Won't you mend me too?
