Sewing Room, One Lamp On

Lyrics
One lamp in the sewing room Thread across the floor A hem is almost finished Then there's one more The needle goes up and down Quiet as the rain Stitching up the evening Stitch by gentle stitch again Sew it slow, sew it slow One small stitch and then another Sew it slow, sew it slow Warm as a worn-out blanket Buttons in a jar Ribbons on the chair Someone's coat is mended With a little care The radio is humming Soft behind the door Making something simple That will keep someone warm Sew it slow, sew it slow One small stitch and then another Sew it slow, sew it slow Warm as a worn-out blanket Nothing here is hurried Nothing here is lost Every little thread Is worth the cost Sew it slow, sew it slow One small stitch and then another Sew it slow, sew it slow Warm as a worn-out blanket Sew it slow One lamp on
