Family (UK rock band) - The Weaver's Answer lyrics
[Family UK rock band - The Weaver's Answer lyrics]
Weaver of life, let me look and see
The pattern of my life gone by
Shown on your tapestry just for one second
One glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood could
Have fit within this room
Does it of my youth show, tears of yesterday?
Broken hearts, within a heart
As love first came my way
Do the lifeline patterns change as
I became a man an added aura untold blend as
I asked for her hand
Did your golden needle sew it
Thread virginial white
As long as we embrace as
One upon our wedding night
Did you capture all the joys the
Birth of our first son?
The happiness of family made a
Brother for the one
The growing of the brothers
The manliness that grew
Is it there in detail? Is it their to view?
Do the sparks of life grow bright
As one by one they wed?
To live as fathers, husbands
Apart from lives they've led
Are my lover's threads cut off when
Aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space
Upon thou woven crest
A gathering for the last time
As her coffin slowly lain
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
One day we will regain
Does it show, does it swipe
Grandchildren on my knee
But only hearing laughter when age
Took my sight from me
Lastly through these last few
Years of loneliness maybe
Does it by sight a shooting
Star fade from your tapestry
Wait there in the distance
Over your loom I think I see
Could it be that after all
My prayers you've answered me?
After days of wondering I see the reason why
You kept it to this minute
For I'm about to die weaver of life
At last now I can see
The patterns of my life gone by
Shown on your tapestry
The pattern of my life gone by
Shown on your tapestry just for one second
One glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood could
Have fit within this room
Does it of my youth show, tears of yesterday?
Broken hearts, within a heart
As love first came my way
Do the lifeline patterns change as
I became a man an added aura untold blend as
I asked for her hand
Did your golden needle sew it
Thread virginial white
As long as we embrace as
One upon our wedding night
Did you capture all the joys the
Birth of our first son?
The happiness of family made a
Brother for the one
The growing of the brothers
The manliness that grew
Is it there in detail? Is it their to view?
Do the sparks of life grow bright
As one by one they wed?
To live as fathers, husbands
Apart from lives they've led
Are my lover's threads cut off when
Aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space
Upon thou woven crest
A gathering for the last time
As her coffin slowly lain
Ash to ashes, dust to dust
One day we will regain
Does it show, does it swipe

But only hearing laughter when age

Lastly through these last few
Years of loneliness maybe

After days of wondering I see the reason why
