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