Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time his is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind.
The loom goes click and the loom goes clack The shuttle flies forward and then flies back The weaver's so bent that he's like to crack Such a wearisome trade is the weaver's.
Now that it's made into cloth at last The ends of work they all make quite fast The weaver's labors for now have passed Such a wearisome trade is the weaver's.
The girl that I marry will have to be As soft and as pink as a nursery The girl I call my own Will wear satin and laces and smell of cologne Her nails will be polished And in her hair she'll wear a gardenia

I believe we can make it through the night
late 70's hit
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
Oh Very Young
Cat Stevens
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leather hide

Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still, I'm not happy
Don't you see?
Country song from my childhood
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
(or black, or something)
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end

A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

all dressed in satin and waiting by the door

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind.

whiskers on kittens,

Oh, had I a golden thread
and a needle so fine,
I'd weave a magic strand
of rainbow design...

A magic web with colours gay

The loom goes click and the loom goes clack
The shuttle flies forward and then flies back
The weaver's so bent that he's like to crack
Such a wearisome trade is the weaver's.
Now that it's made into cloth at last
The ends of work they all make quite fast
The weaver's labors for now have passed
Such a wearisome trade is the weaver's.
The Weaver and the Factory Maid.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satin and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished
And in her hair she'll wear a gardenia
From "Annie Get Your Gun"
And you're kinda cute baby, kinda cute baby,
See you dance in your satin suit baby
Kinda Cute - Joe Jackson
Slit skirts...Jeanie don't ever where no slit skirts

He bends to kiss her,
She lifts her face,
The boy in khaki, the girl in lace.
