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 more
A cool wind blows on by
The spider and the fly
In 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 heart
A cool wind blows on by
The spider and the fly
I could always feel you here with me
Forming all the words I ever speak
Seeing everything that will ever be, through me
Over 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 mind
A cool wind blows on by
The spider and the fly
