Sometime Long ago, we were very old
It was just she and I,
living under the blanket in the sky
everyone believed when you died
you would pass to the other side
It's my time
it's my time
it's my time to go to the other side
it's time for me to go
home
Now I'm gone
and she still looks for me
wish I could tell her
to stop looking
She persists
she climbs up to the highest trees
cutting the cloth in the sky
day after day for the rest of her life
she climbs
tree after tree
cutting holes with her knife
It's not your time, dear
It's not your time
It's not your time, love
then one day
she came to the other side
we came together one more time
I know she missed me
she worked so hard every day
no one should live that way
we must raise the blanket high
high above trees
high above the mountains
far, far far into the sky
It's our time
It's our time
It's our time
on the other side
it's our time
on the other side
now
take a look up high
when the sun doesn't shine
see the moon at night
surrounded by starshine
you'll see the place
where she cut the holes
in the blanket in the sky
in the blanket in the sky
see the blanket in the sky
