Don McLean - Tapestry lyrics with translation (on click)

Tapestry - Don McLean

Lyrics

words to study

Every thread of creation is held in position

by still other strands of things living.

In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline

of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,

as not to be satisfied with their own negativity

but needing to touch all the living as well.

Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath

we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.

As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.

As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.

We're poisoned by venom with each breath we take,

from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
