She
is a weaver
Through her hands
the bright thread travels
Blue green water,
willows weeping, silver stars
She sings and sighs
as the shuttle flies
Through the yarn
like a Kerry dancer
Pink and purple velvet
red for a lover's bed
Living
north of San Francisco
With a man who build
his house alone
Living peaceful in
the country
The lights of the
Golden Gate will lead her home
She
is a spinner
In her hands the
wooden wheel turns the wool around
The around again
The gypsy from Bolinas
sits and plays the mandolin
Faces smile in the
firelight of a foggy night
Living
north of San Francisco
Sometimes it's nice
to be alone
She says it's peaceful
where she is living
The lights of the
Golden Gate will lead her home
You
can see the bridges of the city
Hanging in the air
by steel and stone
She says it's peaceful
where she's living
The lights of the
Golden Gate will lead her home
She
is a weaver
Through her hand
the bright thread travels
Blue green water,
willows weeping, silver stars
She is my sister,
the baby born when I was older
Her hands are light,
her hair is bright as the summer sun
Living
north of San Francisco
Sometimes it's nice
to be alone
She says it's peaceful
in the country
The lights of the
Golden Gate will lead her home
The lights of the
Golden Gate will lead her home
