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