There's a boy, who walks the streets alone
And in his mind, he is never on his own
A white lady spider weaves a web so fine
Catching all the love and hope, she finds
The boy - with a white spider in his head
She weaves - just the good things in one thread
Enwrapped in silk - where the peaceful things will stay
She carries a light - to show the lost and hidden way
In the moonlight, she weaves through the night
Catching memories and peace in silver-white
A compliment, a look, a fading dream
The spider holds them tight and silken clean
The boy - with a white spider in his head
She weaves - many good things in one thread
Enwrapped in silk - where the peaceful things will stay
She carries a light - to show the lost and hidden way
He speaks about his spider, but no one understands
How she catches the things with her spidery legs
Every precious moment, every laughter, every tear
The spider keeps them safe, far away from fear
The boy - with a white spider in his head
She weaves - all the good things in one thread
Enwrapped in silk - where the peaceful things will stay
She carries a light - to show the lost and hidden way
The boy knows that the spider has to die one day
But in her web all the precious things will stay
All the beauty, it is captured for him quiet near
All these memories stay forever without fear
The boy - with a white spider in his head
Don't call him crazy - that crotchety lad
He's holding on to love - in a world that's much too fast
A fragile net of dreams - coming straight from the past
