Lyrics

Something is very gently
Invisibly, silently
Pulling at me a thread
Or net of threads
Finer than cobweb
And as elastic
I haven't tried the strength of it
No barbed hook pierced and tore me
Was it not long ago this thread
Began to draw me
Or way back?
Was I born with its knot about my neck
A bridle?
Not fear but a stirring of wonder
Makes me catch my breath when I feel the tug of it
When I thought it had loosened itself and gone
Something is very gently
Invisibly, silently
Pulling at me a thread
Or net of threads
Finer than cobweb
And as elastic
I haven't tried the strength of it
No barbed hook pierced and tore me
Was it not long ago this thread
Began to draw me
Or way back?
Was I born with its knot about my neck
A bridle?
Not fear but a stirring of wonder
Makes me catch my breath when I feel the tug of it
When I thought it had loosened itself and gone
Something is very gently
Invisibly, silently
Pulling at me a thread
Or net of threads
Finer than cobweb
And as elastic
I haven't tried the strength of it
No barbed hook pierced and tore me
Was it not long ago this thread
Began to draw me
Or way back?
Was I born with its knot about my neck
A bridle?
Not fear but a stirring of wonder
Makes me catch my breath when I feel the tug of it
When I thought it had loosened itself and gone
