'Twas on that day, behind a hill I came across a village still The only thing I could see Was village tapestry Down narrow streets and empty lanes Wherever I walked, it was the same Not a soul in this small town But village tapestry Faded yellows, lighter greens Blues to lilac, colours unseen Red still red, as blood did run Black is black, did hide the sun Wanting frame and faded colours It told a story of many summers A town had died in this here land Except its tapestry Pretty girls with golden hair Handsome young men with chested bare At last, their lives and heart appear On this tapestry (Faded yellows, lighter greens) It told a story, there'd been a plague (Blues to lilac, colours unseen) The town had been empty for many an age (Red still red, as blood did run) Then who was the person no one had seen That told a story by village tapestry? (Black is black, did hide the sun) I turned on heel and walked from there And offered to this town a prayer A special thought I had in there For village tapestry Faded yellows, lighter greens Blues to lilac, colours unseen Red still red, as blood did run Black is black, did hide the sun
