The Web

Down in the valley,
There is a mission,
By the old oak tree,
By the mission
There is a fountain
Where my love told me.

There’s a web like a spider’s web. 
Made of silk and light and shadows.
Spun by the moon in my room at night.
It’s a web meant to catch a dream,
Hold it tight tell I awaken,
As if to tell me my dream is all right.

On the evenin’
I was leavin’
My love dreamed of me.
I was sleepin’
He was weepin’
And he said to me.

There’s a web like a spider’s web. 
Made of silk and light and shadows.
Spun by the moon in my room at night.
It’s a web meant to catch a dream,
Hold it tight tell I awaken,
As if to tell me my dream is all right.

I meat a stranger
His name was danger
We rode side by side,
Down in Sate Fe
I killed a man they say
Danger told me to ride.
Now, if I return,
They will hang me,
By the old oak tree,
By the mission,
There is a fountain,
Where my love told me

There’s a web like a spider’s web. 
Made of silk and light and shadows.
Spun by the moon in my room at night.
It’s a web meant to catch a dream,
Hold it tight tell I awaken,
As if to tell me my dream is all right.
