You keep me hanging on a thread
Trapped in a dewy glistening web,
I wish that you, my spider would cocoon me
Bind me up in your spell
Above that old red brick; wishing well.
But I've got to follow the wind and fly,
Uncoil this rigging, myself and set sail, say
It was good to know you
And like a ship's hull take in some salt water
Yeah, I'm on my meridian way.
It was good to know you
That's all I've got to say
Before I set to sail away…
But one day you'll be the star
To guide me safely back from afar
From afar off, distant sea...
Oh but for tonight will you keep me
Keep me hanging on a thread
Trapped in that dewy glistening web,
Anchored up in a port with you, my angel.
Ooh!
I wish that you, my spider would cocoon me!
Bind me up in your soft sorrel spell
Above that old red brick; wishing well.
Ooh!
And like a ship's hull
I'll take in some Caribbean daughter
Yeah, I'm on my meridian way.
Taking in the salt spray verges heavenly today.
But now I'm coming home to die.
Ooh!
You're cocooned with me
And I'm cocooned up with you.
