Needle, Feather, And A Rope
Blind Willies

Sister, where you going with spikes on your heels?

Your man’s not worthy of attention

It may be natural, oh it’s what you do best

You ought to move in some other direction

You can touch fire, draw water from stone

Deliver strength into captivity

But all day I see as you smile and you slave

Giving glory to your enemy

God gave you a needle

God gave you a feather

And a rope

Brother, when the time comes will you even make a sound?

Standing on a corner with flowers in your hand

Not that you can’t sing or clench your teeth and fight

There are just some things the world won’t allow you to have

There’s no guarantee if it’s mercy that you want

There’s only one road but it’s endless and deep

Got to go by yourself don’t try to compromise

With anyone whose love drifts away like smoke

Two white horses

Side by side

Goodbye brother

You’ve been sanctified

I’m waiting for something

Another girl and a new skin

Never said it had to make sense

Just get me through the door

God gave us a needle

God gave us a feather

And a rope

Where I’m going now might disappear

Don’t come running if you can’t see me

I do believe it’s three voices that I hear

The wilderness was never empty

One begs forgiveness, one asks for sorrow

One demands my sweet attention

I don’t know how it ever got this far

Guess I made the wrong impression

God gave them a needle

God gave them a feather

And a rope
