Circle song

As sure as the circle follows the rule
As full as the spheres are ringing with sound

We traveled three nights, three days
Hand over claw through silt and clay
We took only enough supplies
For the route as the crow flies
Deep down in the mud she lies
Ooooh
Stay a while and bend my ear
Tell me what brought you here

Oh, the winter was hard
And it hammered along
Like a pendulum I hardly noticed
So when we shook off the rust
It fell like golden sunlight through a dusty window
When will I be delivered good news?
Here on the end of my tether I think of you

Leave my brother take me instead
Carry me safe through the land of the dead
Let me not be led astray
From here springs life and slow decay
Weigh me up on judgment day
Ooooh
Lay me down in your garden green
Tell me what you have seen

Oh, the winter was hard
And it hammered along
Like a pendulum I hardly noticed
So when we shook off the rust
It felt like golden sunlight through a dusty window
When will I be delivered good news?
Here on the end of my tether I think of you

Oh my architect, we have constructed it well
Images and mirages echo off the walls of the citadel
As sure as the circle follows the rule
As full as the spheres are ringing with sound
As Easter to Beltaine mid summer to Yule

Marking time to measure the circumference
What you are missing will come back to you
Have confidence
Regular as wingbeat it rolling along of us

Oh, the winter was hard
And it hammered along
Like a pendulum I hardly noticed
So when we shook off the rust
It felt like golden sunlight through a dusty window
When will I be delivered good news
Here on the end of my tether I think of you

Oh my architect, we have constructed it well
Images and mirages echo off the walls of the citadel
As sure as the circle follows the rule
As full as the spheres are ringing with sound
As Easter to Beltaine mid summer to Yule
Marking time to measure the circumference
What you are missing will come back to you
Have confidence
Regular as wingbeat rolling along of us
