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