Glass Spider
4
Up until one century ago there lived,
5
in the Zi Duang provence of eastern country.
6
A glass-like spider.
7
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web in weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains.
8
Its web was also unique in that it had many layers, like floors in a buuilding.
9
At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent care, were tiny shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops.
10
One could almost call it an altar.
11
When the breeze blew thru this construction,
12
it produced sounds of wailing, crying.
13
Tiny wails, tiny cries.
14
The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically for their mother.
15
But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies would survive somehow on their own.
16
Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's.
17
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries.
18
Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you
19
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
20
But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
21
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
22
Take care, take care.
23
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
24
Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone.
25
But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now.
26
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
27
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
28
Gone, Gone the water's all gone
29
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
30
Stay low on the ground, my fire can drive you, savage and afraid
31
Spitting at the dawn, come along before the animals awake
32
Run moving all night, rivers to the left.
33
If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might
34
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
35
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
36
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
37
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
38
Gone gone the water's all gone
39
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
40
Gone gone the water's all gone
41
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
42
Gone gone the water's all gone
43
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
