Old Woman is watching, watching over you. 
In the darkness of the storm she is watching.
She is weaving, mending, gathering the fragments. 
She is watching over you.

Chorus: So weave and mend, weave and mend.
	Gather the fragments safe within the sacred circle.
	Sister, weave and mend, weave and mend.
	Old woman, weave and mend.

Old Woman is weaving, gathering the threads.
Her bones become the loom she is weaving.
She is watching, weaving, gathering the colors.
She is watching over you.

For years I've been watching, waiting for Old Woman, 
Feeling lost and so alone, I've been watching.
Now I find her, weaving, gathering the colors.
Now I find her in myself.
