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