Spider Lullaby - Kirsty McGee

«won't you come a little closer?»

Said the spider to the fly

«where i weave my webs of wonder

In the eaves under the sky

And i’ll wrap you in soft cotton

And caress you as you lie

And as the night draws in i’ll sing a spider lullaby…

In my web, like a cathedral

Shall i honour you, my love

Where the raindrops hang like diamonds

I will hold you soon enough

In the gold and silver threadwork

You can look into my eyes

And as the night turns blue i’ll sing you spider lullabies

And i wonder as i hold you

How we are come to this

That i should wound you as i love you

I should kill you with a kiss

And i’ll wrap you in soft cotton —

See how soft and still you lie

And i’ll sing to you my darling

This spider lullaby…"
