Just wow. That's some masterful writing, Mr. Loomis. So glad I found this.

So pretty.This deserves a lot of recognition

Beautiful. . . I want to hear the harmony more! . . . maybe three part in the chorus!

When I’m sinking down into the darkness
When I’m way too far out on a limb
When the water is rising up over my head 
And I’m too weak and weary to swim

There’s a ribbon that stretches between us
Like the tune that’s connecting these notes
Like a string pulled out tight for an old tin-can phone
Like a wave passing under our boats

It will lift us when we’re going under
It can lead us back into the light
It’s braided in strands, like a rope in our hands,
That will save us if we hold on tight

So darling 
Don’t you let go of that line
Don’t you let go of that line
You hold on to your end
I’ll hold on to mine
Darling don’t you let go of that line

When it feels like we’re already broken
When we’re too sad and angry to care
When nothing is right in the still of the night
And our demons come dance in the air

You will always be able to find me
I will always be waiting for you
Through the smoke and the fire and the fear and desire
We can rise but whatever you do

chorus

If I lose my way out in the starlight
And go spinning off into deep space
That tug at my heart will remind me
I am only at home in one place
