If I were a spider and my mother was the moon Out came the sun and dried off her cocoon Underneath the water I would live and die to soon If I were a spider and my mother was the moon
Fallen from my web I have landed in the stream Been drifting on a while or forever so it seems My mother cries above me: "you have left the world too soon" If I were a spider and my mother was the moon
So I've come to rest now down in my riverbed Dreaming of the life I left tangled up in the web My mother sits upon the hill singing a song or two If I were a spider and my mother was the moon
