Spin And Turn

(álbum: Live - For The Record - 1996)

Deep in the night a baby
Takes his first deep breath and cries
His momma's tired and happy
Daddy's head is in the skies
The fiddler resins up her bow
And the guitar tunes a string
The circle dancers part
To let another others join the ring
Spin and turn
Life goes on and on
Circles around the sun
Till the final dance is done
Spin and turn
We've been here and gone
Sing it with us now
Spin and turn
Life goes on and on
Circles around the sun
Till the final dance is done
Spin and turn
We've been here and gone
Early in life the young man
Finds a woman who is wise
He takes her in his arms
And finds tomorrow in her eyes
They dance around the circle
Till the two of them are one
They do the dance of life
Until a new life has begun
Spin and turn
Life goes on and on
Circles around the sun
Till the final dance is done
Spin and turn
We've been here and gone
Old men telling children
Of the world when they were young
Children telling old men of their dreams
Mother, daughters, fathers, sons
Around and around, the circle runs
In streams
Till deep in the night an old man
Takes his final steps and sighs
Across the lake the music
Echoes to the midnight skies
While, deep within, the ancient song
Is rising in his breast
For him, the hour is late
And now it's time he took his rest
Spin and turn
Life goes on and on
Circles around the sun
Till the final dance is done
Spin and turn
We've been here and gone
And deep in the night a baby
Takes her first breath and cries
Her momma's tired and happy
Daddy's head is in the skies
Spin and turn
Life goes on and on
