[RC] Song for Spider p. 4 - Joan Dowis
And they take you out to see the men who will assist you
they help you - they know - they’ve been there before
and the man who carries gold inside his backpack
will be the one you’ll owe forever more
And The light of dawn will not lift your spirit
You head out to make your peace with your old friend
You are shaking – your body wants to leave you
And you find where he went end over end
And when the sickle handed Reaper meets you on the trail
You go down through the rock, the brush and shale
And what your eyes will see your mind will try to hide
As he goes down his eyes are open wide
your heart will scream as the mountain tears him away
You lungs explode commanding him to stay
Your clutching arms find only soil where he has been
Your eyes won’t see what the night alone has seen
His fate is at the end of Spider’s ravine.
