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