Here is the version we sang:


SPIDER'S WEB

CHORUS: There's a web like a spider's web
Made of silver light and shadow
Spun by the moon in my room at night
It's a web made to catch a dream
Hold me tight 'til I awaken
As if to tell me that dreaming's all right

Down in the valley, there's a mission
By the old oak tree
By the mission, there's a fountain
Where my love told me

On the evening I was leaving
My love came to me
I was sleeping, she was weeping
And she said to me

I met a stranger, his name was Danger
We walked side by side
Down in Santa Fe, I killed a man they say
Danger told me to ride

Now if I return, they will hang me
'Neath the old oak tree
By the mission, near the fountain
Where my love told me
