The Weaver's Answer Lyrics

Weaver of life, let me look and seeThe pattern of my life gone byShown on your tapestryJust for one second, one glance upon your loomThe flower of my childhood could appear within this roomDoes it of my youth show tears of yesterdayBroken hearts within a heart as love first came my wayDid the lifeline patterns change as I became a manAn added aura untold lbends as I asked for her handDid your golden needle sow its thread virginal whiteAs lovers we embraced as one upon our wedding nightDid you capture all the joys, the birth of our first sonThe happiness of family made a brother for the oneThe growing of the brothers, the manliness that grewIs it there in detail, is it there to viewDo the sparks of life grow bright as one by one they wedTo live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've ledAre my lover's threads cut off when aged she laid to restMy sorrow blacking out a space upon our woven crestA gathering for the last time as her coffin slowly lainAsh to ashes, dust to dust, one day we will regainDoes it show the visits when grandchildren on my kneeBut only hearing laughter when age took my sight from meLastly through these last few years of loniless maybeDoes by sight a shooting star fade from your tapestryBut wait, there in the distance your loom I think I seeCould it be that after all my prayers you've answered meAfter days of wondering I see the reason whyYou've kept it to this minute for I'm about to dieWeaver of life, at last now I can seeThe pattern of my life gone by upon your tapestry
