Spider Lullaby

from Frost by Kirsty McGee

/

lyrics

‘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...’
