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