The Spider Song Lyrics

By townes van zandt

There is a spider in my dreams
Long and silent is his name
Cold as lightning is his smile
Final is his sting

His curse is deep as seven skies
Boys, I wouldn't tell you lies
The legends say he never sleeps
He's never hungry long

He's got us, boys, I believe it's true
But I'm fighting till he lays me down
Run his foul black body through
Cleave him all asunder Townes Van Zandt - The Spider Song - http://motolyrics.com/townes-van-zandt/the-spider-song-lyrics.html

Think your women, won't you boys,
Think your mother growing old
Think about your darling son
Spittin' the spider's eye

Up [at ease] against him ride
We'll not take him by surprise
Give a scream down in your dreams
Let him know we're comin'

There is a spider in my dreams
Long and silent is his name
Cold as lightning is his smile
Final is his sting
