Texty: Joan Osborne. Relish. Spider Web.

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night and he could see just fine...

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night.
And he could see just fine, you know.
I asked him for a lullaby. He said,
"Honey, I don't sing no more."
No more, no more, no more, Ray don't sing no more.

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, my voice has just deserted me.
No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more. I stay in bed with M.T.V."
Then Ray took his glasses off and I could look inside his head.
Flashing like a thunderstorm, I saw a shining spider web.

Spider web, spider web, spider web in Ray Charles' head.

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night.
He took me flying in the air. Showed me my own spider web; Said,
"Honey, you had best take care. The world is made of spider webs.
the threads are stuck to me and you. Careful what you're wishing for,
'cause when you gain, you just might lose."

You just might lose your spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said.

When you're feeling lonely, when you're hiding in your bed,
don't forget your string of pearls, don't forget your spider web.
When I go to sleep tonight, don't let me dream of brother Ray.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees.
Just like him best the other way.

Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said.
Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles' head.

All I got's my spider web, keepin' me alive.
All I got's my spider web, keepin' me alive.

- come on Ray..
