(Smith/Daugherty)



Life is designed With unfinished lines 

That another sings Each story unfolds 

Like it was gold Upon a ragged wing 



The bold and the fair Suffer their share 

He whispered to his kin All of my debts 

Left with regrets I'm sorry for everything 



Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may 

Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one day 



And she pinned back her hair Shouldered with care 

The burdens that were his Mending the coat 

That hung on the post In heart remembering 



Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may 

Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one day 



And her time was to come Called to her son 

This your song to sing All of our debts 

Wove with regrets Upon a golden string 

And he found the old coat Hung on a post 

Like a ragged wing And took as his own 

The sewn and unsown Joyfully whistling
