Now my fist is clenched
My guard up and set against all those things that haven't happened yet
Can I play on your playground
On your side of the ditch?
Can I go home again if that suit doesn't fit?

Cloth of life is torn
Cloth of life is fading so much more
Goes without saying

Yeah, the leaves were in riot our time of the year
Pulling from coffee cups
Pushing back the tears
You're all writing your chapters
A new one each day
I wish I could write my name at the bottom of the page

Cloth of life is something where you begin
Cloth of life is something you can wrap yourself in
Keep a candle in the window
Keep a fire on your hearth
Keep a prayer on your lips, and keep some hope in your heart
