Letra de Sea Silk

I'll spread my sail of silver And loose my rope of silk My golden thread, yellow red Pried from sand and silt It can't be sold, this thread of gold It belongs to womankind So I weave it in and turn it out This burnished silk of mine In the shearing winds of winter When the sea is far too cold I'll fix a searing summer Into these woven folds The scholar writes the soldier's story But I tell mine in cloth This the way my mother taught me Gold as the dusted moth We the ones that time forgot That the rest neglect but I cannot For until I am undone I'll spin saltwater into Sun Until the time I am undone I'll spin saltwater into Sun You'll learn this ancient alchemy That binds these fragile strands When you learn to walk with steady feet And work with patient hands
