Patched and Sewn
Fort Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you still love me this Christmas eve
Will you have a smile for me to see?
We hang our hopes upon the tree

As soon as our eyes are finally asleep
The stars inside our dreams
Will shine even bighter than
Those that you see you would never believe

How happy you could be
If you only returned to the fleed
I'll make any voyage you ask of me
Just to see

The snowflakes fall over eyes so cold
But our hands will be holding strong
Until we're old and can't be broken

If bones can rise through stone
And our faith is a rose
That is perfectly patched and sewn
So we're never alone

Will we be complete this Christmas eve
We traveled through miles and miles to see
If we'll sing and dance around the tree

As soon as the fire is crackled and sweet
And we all yawn from the heat
This is the happiest you could be
We can't believe

How lucky we have been
That you returned to the fleed
Made the ground for you to cross the sea
Back to me

The snowflakes fall over eyes so cold
But our hands will be holding strong
Until we're old and can't be broken

If bones can rise through stone
And our faith is a rose
That is perfectly patched and sewn
So we're never alone

I know that you love me
Now you've returned to the fleed
Don't make any promises you can't keep
This Christmas eve

The snowflakes fall over eyes so cold
But our hands will be holding strong
Until we're old and can't be broken

If bones can rise through stone
And our faith is a rose
That is perfectly patched and sewn
So we're never alone

Snowflakes fall over eyes so cold
But our hands will be holding strong
Until we're old and can't be broken

If bones can move through stone
And our faith is a rose
That is perfectly patched and sewn
So we're never alone

We're never alone we're never alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fort Hope's song "Patched and Sewn" convey deep emotional resonance, particularly in the context of love, longing, and the desire for connection during a time often associated with warmth and togetherness—Christmas Eve. The opening lines express a yearning for reassurance and affection, highlighting the uncertainty that comes with the anticipation of reunion during significant times in life. This longing is embodied in the imagery of hanging hopes on a Christmas tree, which serves as a beautiful metaphor for the fragility and adornment of hope itself, suggesting that these feelings of love and connection, while cherished, are also precarious and dependent on the presence of the loved one.


As the lyrics progress, there’s a transition into dreamlike imagery that captures the essence of both innocence and desire. The notion that "the stars inside our dreams will shine even brighter" suggests an idealized vision of love that transcends reality, where hope and possibility can eclipse the hardships of life. The contrast between the enchanting quality of dreams versus the starkness of the cold world we inhabit is striking. It encapsulates a poignant longing for unity, underscoring a sense of belief in the power of love to bring warmth even amid challenges. The singer expresses a willingness to undertake any journey, which speaks volumes about dedication and sacrifice—central themes when love is tested by distance or time.


The lyrics also turn to more profound reflections on resilience and the enduring nature of human connections. With lines like "if bones can rise through stone," the metaphor illustrates a sense of overcoming adversity and the strength required to maintain relationships. The imagery of love being like a "rose, that is perfectly patched and sewn" implies that love is often a labor of love, constructed through care and resilience, yet remains beautiful and whole. This intertwining of fragility and strength reflects the complexities of love—how it can both be vulnerable and unbreakable, providing a sense of companionship that endures as time goes on, effectively counteracting loneliness and despair.


Ultimately, the recurring motifs of snow and hands holding strong convey a sense of warmth and security despite the coldness of the outside world. "We'll be old and can't be broken" reinforces the theme of lasting connection, suggesting that true love can navigate the vicissitudes of life, remaining unyielding through trials and tribulations. The line that echoes the sentiment of never being alone underscores the essential message of togetherness—the ultimate comfort found in love that has withstood the test of time. This conclusion reiterates the power of love to bind us, creating a shared space where one can feel complete and cherished, especially during poignant moments like Christmas Eve.
