      Weaver's Answer Lyrics by Family


Ab5    -   G5   Eb5                G5
Weaver of life, let me look and see
C5 -               D5                  E5       Bb5 
The pattern of my life gone by, Shown on your tapestry.



C5      Bb5 ? C5 C5  Bb5 - C5      Bb5         C5
Just for one second,   one glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood could have fit within this room

Ab5      -     G5      -     Eb5    -       G5
Does it of my youth, show tears of yesterday?
C5      -      D5                 E5       -         Bb5 
Broken hearts within a heart, as love first came my way.



C5      Bb5 ? C5      C5            Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5
Do the lifeline patterns change as I became a man
An added aura untold blend,as I asked for her hand.

Ab5      -       G5      -      Eb5     -            G5
Did your golden needle sew it,thread virginial white
C5      -       D5             E5       -       Bb5 
As long as we embrace as one, upon our wedding night.



C5            Bb5  C5      C5   Bb5 C5      Bb5         C5
Did you capture all the joys, the birth of our first son?
The happiness of family made a brother for the one.

    Ab5      -      G5      -      Eb5     -        G5
The growing of the brothers, the manliness that grew
Ab5      -      G5      -     Eb5     -        G5
is it there in detail?     Is it there to view?

C5      -         D5                   E5       -      Bb5 
Do the sparks of life grow bright as, one by one they wed?
C5      -            D5                   E5       -    Bb5 
To live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've led.



C5          Bb5 ? C5      C5     Bb5 -  C5        Bb5       C5 
Are my lover's threads cut off when aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space upon thou woven crest

Ab5      -            G5      -         Eb5     -       G5 
A gathering for the last time, as her coffin slowly lain
Ab5      -     G5      -          Eb5     -    G5 
Ash to ashes, dust to dust, one day we will regain.
C5      -      D5                  E5       -     Bb5 
Does it show, does it swipe, grandchildren on my knee
C5      -      D5               E5       -         Bb5 
Only hearing laughter,when age took my sight from me.



C5                 Bb5 ? C5      C5     Bb5 -  C5 Bb5   C5 
Lastly through these last few years of loneliness maybe
Does it by sight a shooting star fade from your tapestry.

Ab5      -         G5      -            Eb5             G5 
Wait there in the distance, over your loom I think I see
Ab5      -        G5      -     Eb5     -                G5 
Could it be that after all my prayers you've answered me?

C5      -      D5            E5       -     Bb5
After days of wonder-ing, I see the reason why.
C5      -            D5           E5       -   Bb5 
You kept it to this minute, for, I'm about to die.


Ab5    -   G5     Eb5              G5
Weaver of life, let me look and see
C5      -          D5            E5            Bb5 
The pattern of my life gone by, Shown on your tapestry.
