The Spider Song — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



There is a spider in my dreams

Long and silent is his name

Cold as lightning is his smile

Final is his sting





His curse is deep as seven skies

Boys, I wouldnt tell you lies

The legends say he never sleeps

Hes never hungry long





Hes got us, boys, I believe its true

But Im fighting till he lays me down

Run his foul black body through

Cleave him all asunder





Think your women, wont you boys,

Think your mother growing old

Think about your darling son

Spittin the spiders eye





Up [at ease] against him ride

Well not take him by surprise

Give a scream down in your dreams

Let him know were comin





There is a spider in my dreams

Long and silent is his name

Cold as lightning is his smile

Final is his sting
