Spider Song

Twisting and grasping and I cannot find her

First it was her body last night was her web

Glistening gossamer stretched from my pillow

Where I'd laid my head

Now I stretch my mind trying to find what she said

I wake and it's all faded away

And in the daytime I'm left

To figure it out on my own

Someone tried to teach me to never say never

It's so funny I never saw that one again

I'm sure they're still somewhere deep down

In the dirt in the back of my head

They just never call me it's not like they're dead

You can love someone and just not stay friends

Wake one day to find they've faded away

And in the daytime I know I've

Faded plenty on my own

And you used to tell me how you'd live forever

It's ok that's not what you tell me anymore

I used to imagine that you'd disappear while I became a crone

Either way I'd lose track of your flesh and your bone

I'd try not to be scared as I walked on alone

Wake one day to find you've faded away

And in the daytime I know

I've learned how to walk on my own

I wake and it's all faded away

And in the daytime I know

I've woven a web of my own
