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. |
