Spider Web

V.1
 
I'm captured , your treachery leaves me
Helpless, oh my love, inside
Your wicked, sticky strings
I struggle to resist
The more I try to move
The more I am entangled
Fixed upon the strands in your web
V.2
 
The city, I try to keep my pace
I wander, a stranger to the pavement
Tugging at my feet
In the busy street
Woven up and down
Crossing every inch of ground
Every one a strand in the web 
BR
 
And I sit and study the look in your eye
Careful glances spin through the air and through time
And I can see nothing but emptiness and lies
Nothing to satisfy, or justify our web
V.3
 
Sacudimiento, de los árboles del sauce
Los guijarros, debajo de mi zapato
el río, agua fresca en mi cara
Me Abro los ojos
Allí como una estrella
Tejida en los ramas
Ella es perfecta, en su tela
V.4
 
The willow, I watch it as it sways
A pebble, inside my shoe
A river, I splash against my face
Open up my eyes, hanging like a star
Woven in the branches
Perfectly she sits…Perfectly she sits…
In her web
