queen of spindles - talis kimberley lyrics

Loading...

spider catch what spider keep
spider when you’re fast asleep
spider spin and spider sew
who knows where the spider goes…

this night i go to bed the queen of spindles
tomorrow i shall wear another crown
this bitter silk i’m spinning, oh it burns me
but i keep the spindle turning round and round

and love will seal my lips to every murmur
for silence was the witch’s best advice
and love will heal my hands of every blister
for that too is a portion of the price
i am the queen of spindles

spider catch what spider keep
spider when you’re fast asleep

my lover has me ‘prisoned here in darkness
my pyre is waiting ready just outside
i’ve spun and woven scarce enough to save them
my brothers, will you realise i tried?

nor am i quite alone here in my weaving
spider in her hiding place
a spider makes her web above my head
nor shall i quite despair until they burn me
spider in her weaving sp-ce
but i cannot break the spell when i am dead –
cannot break the spell, cannot break the spell
i am the queen of spindles

spider catch what spider keep
spider when you’re fast asleep
spider in her hiding-place
spider in the weaving sp-ce…

spider spin and spider sew
who knows where the spider goes
spider, are you frightened too?
spider, am i dreaming you?

oh, how can i have slept when such awaits me?
and how are these shirts finished all but one?
see, all my nettles spun to yarn and woven
and the spider’s web still only just begun?

morning brings the terror and the daylight
morning brings despair and fear
mute, i sense my winged brothers near
fling what i have woven to them skyward –
come by, come my brothers near
where once were seven swans, seven young men appear

and love has sealed my lips to every murmur
love declares my lips be sealed
for silence was the witch’s best advice
and love has healed my hands of every blister
love declares my blisters healed
for that too was a portion, a portion of the price

i am the queen of spindles
here am i the spindle-queen
nettles gold and nettles green

spider catch what spider keep
spider when you’re fast asleep

i am the queen of spindles
here am i the spindle-maid
nettles sting but that will fade

spider spin and spider sew
who knows where the spider goes?

i am the queen of spindles
here am i the spindle-bride
ask me where the spider hides

seven years and seven shirts
one swan wing, one broken curse

i am the queen of spindles
here am i the spindle-queen
nettles white and nettles green

all my bitter silk is spun, all my bitter tale is sung
and look, the spider’s web is done!
