Spin, Spin Songtext

von Gordon Lightfoot

Spin, Spin
Gordon Lightfoot

So fine, so fine the web you Spin,
I come too dose and I'm caught again
In a web of wild design,
I do not know what fate is mine.

Refrain:
All the day sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in,
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

My daddy said when I was young,
»Beware the web of love, my son!«
To be in love is to be insane,
Make an old man groan, a young man pain.

Refrain:
All the day sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in,
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

Then I did grow and time did fly,
Many a true love passed me by,
Then you came like a raging storm
And I landed in your web so warm.

Refrain:
All the day sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in,
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too dose and I'm caught again
In a web of wild desire,
And I cannot control the fire.

Refrain:
All the day sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in,
Spin, spin, spin, spin.
