Default Oh Undone lyrics

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you'd like to help me to complete the bits and bobs of the Oh Undone lyrics that I was able to figure out...

Here's the song:



And here is what I have so far:

Oh undone in the thundering spring came out swinging
the bell rightful ringing the tune
???
???
??? with a sigh underneath a blue sky
Oh why do I do like I do
Unmade like a bed
Un??? like a thread (?)
Or easily led (or left?) oh undone

Oh undone in the lumbering Saturday sun
I'm a cast away thrown overboard
Oh unreasonably free now and seasonably green
I feel I could swim to shore
Oh unused to the trove (?)
Oh I'm ??? like a fruit (?)
??? some more
Unmade like a bed
Un??? like a thread (?)
Or easily led (or left?) oh undone

Oh undone in the thundering spring came out swinging
the song I am singing down low
??? I get all I want in the ???
While I ???
Oh unravel I have all I need and I see
I reap (?) what I wanted and so
Unmade like a bed
Un??? like a thread (?)
Or easily led (or left?) oh undone

Any help is appreciated, so thanks very much!
I just really love this song and I'd love to be able to sing along properly instead of just humming along!

Okay.. here's the rest of what I can get.
I finally heard the "I'm pinned like a thread" clearly at the end when it's quiet but I would fill it in for the other times as well of course.

I now believe it's "..while I sleep in the snow."

Oh undone in a thundering spring came out swinging
The bell rightful ringing the tune
In the middle a little, my heart comes apart
The sun on a morning ???
Oh untie with a sigh underneath a blue sky
Oh why do I do like I do?
Unmade like a bed
Unpinned like a thread
Oh easily led, oh undone

Oh undone in a lumbering Saturday sun
I'm a castaway thrown overboard
Oh unreasonably free now and seasonably green
I feel I could swim to shore
Oh unused to the truth
Don't I bruise like a fruit?
Oh do like you do with someone
Unmade like a bed
Unpinned like a thread
Oh easily led, oh undone

Oh undone in a thundering spring came out swinging
The song I am singing down low
Oh unsettled I get all I want in the haunting
While I sleep in the snow
Oh unravelled I have all I need and I see
That I reap what I water and sow
Unmade like a bed
Unpinned like a thread
Oh easily led

Nice!
But I'm going to say it's definitely "do like you do some more"

Thanks guys!

And I think the word in the fourth line is moon, mood or move, though none of these make too much sense to me...

Anyway, a beautiful song to SING along to...
