I am out at the pharmacy waiting for a prescription to be made. I can add music later when I get home. But the prompt was right up my alley with a quilting song to add to my collection of quilting songs. AND this lyric gets me a WIN.

Lyrics

[Verse 1)
In the quiet of the night, with needle in hand,
I stitch my dreams with threads of silver strands.
Stitching tales of old, like quilts of lore,
Each patch a story, each seam adorned.

(Chorus)
Oh, quilting by the firelight's glow,
Silver needles dance, their tales unfold.
Golden threads of memories entwine,
Like brass and copper, they gleam divine.

(Verse 2)
Each fabric square a piece of time,
Polished with love, each seam aligned.
Threads of history, like hearts combined,
A necklace of wires, so intertwined.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Through the stitches, we find our way,
In the fabric of life, where colors sway.
Tarnished memories, we mend and weave,
A quilt of love, where hearts believe.

(Chorus)

(Outro)
So let the silver shine, and the gold entwine,
In this patchwork of life, our stories align.
With every stitch and every shiny dime,
We quilt our love, through space and time.

Your words are making me think of “Oh had I a golden thread” by Pete Seeger.
Delightful direction to take the prompt in. The metaphors run rich in this one like gilded threads.
