Weaver's Answer Lyrics by Family
A# - A F A
Weaver of life, let me look and see
D - Em F#m C
The pattern of my life gone by, Shown on your tapestry.
Dm C – Dm Dm C - Dm C Dm
Just for one second, one glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood could have fit within this room
A# - A - F - A
Does it of my youth, show tears of yesterday?
D - Em F#m - C
Broken hearts within a heart, as love first came my way.
Dm C – Dm Dm C Dm C Dm
Do the lifeline patterns change as I became a man
An added aura untold blend,as I asked for her hand.
A# - A - F - A
Did your golden needle sew it,thread virginial white
D - Em F#m - C
As long as we embrace as one, upon our wedding night.
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm C Dm
Did you capture all the joys, the birth of our first son?
The happiness of family made a brother for the one.
A# - A - F - A
The growing of the brothers, the manliness that grew
A# - A - F - A
is it there in detail? Is it there to view?
D - Em F#m - C
Do the sparks of life grow bright as, one by one they wed?
D - Em F#m - C
To live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've led.
Dm C – Dm Dm C - Dm C Dm
Are my lover's threads cut off when aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space upon thou woven crest
A# - A - F - A
B gathering for the last time, as her coffin slowly lain
A# - A - F - A
Ash to ashes, dust to dust, one day we will regain.
D - Em F#m - C
Does it show, does it swipe, grandchildren on my knee
D - Em F#m - C
Only hearing laughter,when age took my sight from me.
Dm C – Dm Dm C - Dm C Dm
Lastly through these last few years of loneliness maybe
Does it by sight a shooting star fade from your tapestry.
A# - A - F A
Wait there in the distance, over your loom I think I see
A# - A - F - A
Could it be that after all my prayers you've answered me?
D - Em F#m - C
After days of wonder-ing, I see the reason why.
D - Em F#m - C
You kept it to this minute, for, I'm about to die.
A# - A F A
Weaver of life, let me look and see
D - Em F#m C
The pattern of my life gone by, Shown on your tapestry.
