I’ve been here so long
A spider wove her web between my toes
It’s beautiful in the morning
With the sunlight shining through the dew
I dare not move now
Dare not tear the net of what she’s made
See her work of silence
See the lines entangle me with prey
See her sit in the center of it all
Waiting waiting

I’ve been here so long
Vines of ivy climb upon my back
It’s beautiful in the morning
When the greenest leaves bring out my eyes
I dare not move now
Dare not pull the long and tender stalk
See it gently quiver
In the dry blue breezes of the north

I’ve been here so long
A bird has made her nest upon my head
It’s beautiful in the morning
With the faraway singing ’round my hair
I dare not move now
Dare not rock the eggs that play in sleep
See the mother gather
Early worms for feeding
I’ve been here so long
Early worms for feeding
I’ve been here so long
Dry blue breezes from the
I’ve been here so long
Lines entangle me with
See her sit in the center of it all
