Glass Spider

Em
Up until one century ago there lived
       Em                     
In the Zi Duang province of an 
 Bm
eastern country
             Bm
A glass-like spider

Having devoured its prey
Em                   G
  It would drape the skeletons over 
its web
         A                  Bm
In weeks creating a macabre shrine 
of remains

Its web was also unique, in that it 
had many layers
     Bm          C         Bm
Like floors in a building
       Bm
At the top of this palace-like place
Assembled with almost apparent care
 Em

                   Em
Were tiny, shining objects
              Em
Glass, beads, dewdrops
G                                  C
One could almost call it an altar
When the breeze blew through this 
              G
construction
It produced sounds of wailing, 
        Bm
crying
                        C   F
Tiny wails, tiny cries
Em
  The baby spiders would get scared

And search frantically for their 
mother
But the glass spider would have long
 Bm
 gone

Having known that the babies
                               Bm
Would survive somehow on their own
        Em
Oh, the glass spider had blue eyes 
almost like a human's
                                F
They shed tears at the wintered turn
 of the centuries


[Verse 1]
C
 Don't you hear this wasted cry, 
life is over you
Am
 (Mommy come back because the 
water's all gone)
           F             G        
But you've seen who's in Heaven, 
                  Am
is there anyone in Hell?
Am
Mommy come back because it's dark 
now

     C
Take care, take care
Am
 (Mommy come back  because the 
water's all gone)
F                          
 Somewhere she glows divine, 
  G             C
somewhere she wakes alone
                C               
But you, you've promised in your 
        Am
loving eye
         C
God it's dark now

Gone, Gone the water's all gone
 Am
(Mommy come back 'cause the water's 
all gone)
F
 Stay low on the ground
    G                   C
The fire can drive you, savage and 
afraid
C
Spitting the dawn, come along before
 the animals awake
 Am
(Gone, gone, the water's all gone)
 Am
(Mommy come back because it's dark 
now)
                     F
Run, run, we've been moving all 
night, rivers to the left
        G
If your mama don't love ya' then the
 riverbed might
Am
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
 Am
(Mommy come back 'cause the water's 
all gone)

Mommy come back 'cause the water's 
all gone
