Carole King - Tapestry lyrics

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue

An everlasting vision of the everchanging view

A wondrows woven magic in bits of blue and gold

A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold

Once amind the soft silver sadnessin the sky

There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by

He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide

And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side

He move with some uncertainty, as if he didn`t know

Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go

Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree

And his hand come down empty

Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road

He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad

It seemed that he had falleninto someone`s wicked spell

And I wept to see him suffer, tough I didn`t know him well

As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared

Afigure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard

In times of deepest darkness, I`ve seen him dressed in black

Now my tapestry`s unravelling; he`s come to take me back

He`s came to take me back
