about

The Weaver was born in the middle of the Mediterranean, inspired by the feeling of tranquillity and freedom that comes from being on the open sea. It describes the life of another kind of artist, one who chooses to weave her own path instead of following the crowd.

lyrics

Everyone said she'd lost her ways
Spending all those lonely days
Lost in her stare
But she didn't care
Folks they would talk behind her back
Wondering why alone she sat
Lost in her stare
But she didn't care

She's a dreamer
She's a weaver

Lacing the strands she'd make her name
Toil beside the window pane
Lost in her stare
She didn't care

There was no need for welcome mats
The universe fit in her lap
Lost in her stare
The whole world was there

She's a dreamer
She's a weaver

She said "Sometimes I do it all right
Sometimes I do it all wrong
I'm not afraid of fashioning my form
Sometimes I wanna be wise
Sometimes I wanna be raw
And let it all pour fourth
And choose the thread that weds
Fate with destiny"

So one by one the days became years
Accompanied by those rusted shears
Lost in her stare
She didn't care

Tapestries and monologues
The colours of a fine-spun cloth
Lost in her stare
The whole world was there

She's a dreamer
She's a weaver

She said "Sometimes I do it all right
Sometimes I do it all wrong
I'm not afraid of fashioning my form
Sometimes I wanna be wise
Sometimes I wanna be raw
And let it all pour fourth
And choose the thread that weds
Fate with destiny"

"Fate with destiny"
