Lyrics
You're a patchwork quilt, my dear
A single knot to hold you here
[Verse 1]
That white line on your knucklebone
From a slip of cedar, sharp as stone

[Chorus]
You're a patchwork quilt, my dear
A single knot to hold you here
[Outro]
Light through paper, thin and worn
A shape of home since you were born
