[Verse] In the quiet of the evening, by the kerosene's soft glow, She’s sitting on the porch step, with a thread and needle slow. Fingers worn but steady, tracing lines upon the seams, The mason’s daughter's working, patching up my faded jeans. [Pre-Chorus] Every stitch a story, every fold a whispered dream, In the flicker of the candle, nothing’s ever as it seems. [Chorus] Hold on tight, through the firelight, You’re the heart that keeps me whole tonight. In the patch and in the pain, Love is what will always remain. Hold on tight, through the firelight, In your hands, I know I’ll be alright. [Verse] Her eyes catch all the shadows, casting tales of days gone by, A mason’s strength in silence, with a softness in her sigh. Threads of hope and healing, woven tender, neat, and clean, The mason’s daughter’s magic, sewing life into my jeans. [Pre-Chorus] Every stitch a story, every fold a whispered dream, In the flicker of the candle, nothing’s ever as it seems. [Chorus] Hold on tight, through the firelight, You’re the heart that keeps me whole tonight. In the patch and in the pain, Love is what will always remain. Hold on tight, through the firelight, In your hands, I know I’ll be alright. [Bridge] Threads may fray and daylight fade, But in your hands, I’m never lost or afraid. Every patch a promise made, By kerosene light, our hearts are laid. [Chorus] Hold on tight, through the firelight, You’re the heart that keeps me whole tonight. In the patch and in the pain, Love is what will always remain. Hold on tight, through the firelight, In your hands, I know I’ll be alright. [Outro] By kerosene light, by kerosene light, You hold me steady through the night.
