Lyrics:Up until one century ago there lived,
In the Zi Duang provence of eastern country
A
glass-like spider.
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web,
In
weeks creating a macabre

Shrine of remains
Its web was also unique in that it had
many layers,
Like floors in a buuilding

At the top of this palace-like place,
assembled with almost apparent
Care, were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads,
dew-drops.
One could almost call it an altar.
When the breeze blew thru this
construction,
It produced sounds of wailing, crying.
Tiny wails, tiny
cries.

The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically
For their
mother.
But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies
Would
survive someone on their own.
Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a
human's.
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries.

Don't you hear this
wasted cry, Life is over you
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
But you've seen
who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
Take care,
take care.
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
Somewhere she glows divine.
Somewhere she wakes alone.
But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark
now.

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah

Gone, Gone the water's all
gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Stay low on the ground, fire can drive
you, savage and afraid
Spitting the dawn, come come come along before the animals
awake
Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left.
If your mother don't love
you then the riverbed might
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the
water's all gone

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah

Gone gone the
water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
