Seamstress of the City Lights

I cut the fabric by the kitchen light

A little crooked, but it feels so right

Thread in my fingers, you were on my mind

Making something that could hold our time

Down the hall, the mirror learns my name

Every seam a spark, every hem a flame

We′re walking home

Under bright windows

With our hearts unbuttoned

Our shadows in tow

Late night fitting rooms

Fever felt slow

And I've never felt so

Beautifully seen

In that glow

In that glow

The shop was closing but you lingered there

Tried on a jacket with your quiet stare

I pinned the cuff, you smiled at the fit

Like the whole wide city was made for this

Down the street, the night was soft and kind

Every little glance left a silver line

We were walking home under bright windows

With our hearts unbuttoned, our shadows in tow

Late night fitting rooms, we all felt slow

And I've never felt so beautifully seen

In the glow, in the glow

Handmade clothes and a borrowed piece

Your voice in the dark like a tenderness tease

If the future is stitched, let it come undone

I'll keep this warmth like a setting sun

We were walking home

Under bright windows

With our hearts unbuttoned

Our shadows in tow

Late night fitting rooms

The world felt slow

And I've never felt so

Beautifully seen

You and me

In the glow
