The Spider and the Fly Lyrics

Trembling like a fly, all tangled in a web unseen
Feeling like I'm always falling backwards in the dream
Around me all the holy men were kneeling on the floor
Asking for forgiveness, they would wait forever moreA cool wind blows on by
The spider and the flyIn the dying light I saw a child there so fair
Bending through the shadows as she moved up through the air
I could hear her voice as it came calling through the dark
Though I never found her, I have held her in my heartA cool wind blows on by
The spider and the flyI could always feel you here with me
Forming all the words I ever speak
Seeing everything that will ever be, through meOver all the years now I have always heard this song
It sings me off to sleep and then it wakes me in the dawn
It was such a mystery I pondered all the time
One day without warning it came forming in my mindA cool wind blows on by
The spider and the fly
