lyrics

Knit one, purl two, on your knee.
Cover me gently, if I fall asleep,
with miles of yarn,
and the hours so sweet that click by, with needles,
through skeins of memory.
And I am unaware of another home
where I might sleep so soundly.
Knit one, purl two, sing to me--
pull the afghan tight, let your arms cradle me.
Sing me all the Depression stories you keep
in a safe in your mind, which the present can't reach.
I am unaware of another home
where I might sleep so soundly.
Grandmother, if where you are you hear
I'm alone: it's true. But I keep my mind aflutter,
and if there's love, may it be
in these small words to you.
