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