SPIN SPIN
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1966 (United Artists Version)


So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again
In the web of wild design
I do not know what fate is mine.

All the day sit and spin
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

And my daddy said when I was young
Beware the web of love my son
To be in love is to be insane
Make an old man groan, a young man pain.

All the day, sit and spin
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

Then I did grow and the time did fly
Many a true love passed me by
And then you came like a blindin' storm
I landed in your web so warm.

All the day, sit and spin
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

(bridge)

So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again
In the web of wild desire
And I cannot control the fire.

All the day sit and spin
You spin your web and you draw me in.

All the day, sit and spin
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin.

Spin, spin, spin, spin……
Spin, spin, spin, spin.
