Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold
[Verse 2]
Once, amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow, green, on either side
[Bridge]
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for or where he ought to go
Once, he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty
[Verse 3]
Soon, within my tapestry, along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well
[Verse 4]
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now, my tapestry's unraveling, he's come to take me back
He's come to take me back
