LADY
SPIDER
(listen HERE. A clearer version coming soon.)
Finally the
memory of my first love has gone
I have lived
so long in the past – that road is long
Then I met
my Lady Elizabeth
I met my Lady Spider
Yes I had
lived so long in the past not knowing if I could
Ever feel so
in love again – I contemplate your smile
Your smile Lady Elizabeth
Your smile my
Lady Spider
I’d given up
all thoughts of joy of a woman’s charms
I found a gem
who held me close – in her loving arms
And I’ll
hold you Lady Elizabeth
I’ll hold you my Lady Spider
I feel the
wind that blows between our searching souls
It will carry
us near and far until we’re old
When I’ll
hold you Lady Elizabeth
I’ll hold you my Lady Spider
Whatever I do, whatever I say
You owe me nothing - but I want for you to stay
When you come towards me how can I hold back
And pretend I don’t care?
When I love
you Lady Elizabeth
I love you my Lady Spider

COMMENTARY: I knew I’d written this song years
ago but I couldn’t find the words or the music until recently. Happily I found
a muffled but heartfelt old recording and I have relearnt this beautiful song.
I love it.
