The spider song
|
by Townes Van Zandt
|
|
There is a spider in my dreams
|
long and silent is his name
|
cold as lightning is his smile
|
final is his sting
|
|
His curse is deep as seven skies
|
boys, I wouldn't tell you lies
|
the legends say he never sleeps
|
he's never hungry long
|
|
He's got us, boys, I believe it's true
|
but I'm fighting till he lays me down
|
run his foul black body through
|
cleave him all asunder
|
|
Think your women, won't you boys,
|
think your mother growing old
|
think about your darling son
|
spittin' the spider's eye
|
|
Up [at ease] against him ride
|
we'll not take him by surprise
|
give a scream down in your dreams
|
let him know we're comin'
|
|
There is a spider in my dreams
|
long and silent is his name
|
cold as lightning is his smile
|
final is his sting
|
|
