I've got the plough if you've got the furrowI've got the rabbit if you've his burrow homeI've got the pen if you've got the paperTime is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turnYou and the wheel turnAnd if the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveThen we'll dash it to the groundAnd if the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveWe'll build one bigger all around, goes the wheelI've got the seed if you've got the valleyI've got the big stick if you've Aunt Sally's headI've got the time if you've got the motionTime is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turnYou and the wheel turnAnd if the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveThen we'll dash it to the groundAnd if the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveIf the pot won't hold our loveWe'll build one bigger all around, goes the wheelMaypole, maypole, maypole, you've spun me 'roundAnd knocked me off my axis mundi, maypoleMaypole, maypole, the ties that bind you will unwindTo free me one day and everything decaysEverything decays, forest tumbles downTo make the soil, planets fall apartJust to feed the stars and stuff their lardersAnd what made me think we're any betterAnd what made me think we'd last foreverWas I so naive? Of course, it all unweavesMaypole, maypole, maypole, you've spun me 'roundAnd knocked me off my axis mundi, maypoleMaypole, maypole, the ties that bind you will unwindTo free me one day and everything decaysPyramids and palaces to dust, empires crumble inWedding cake begins to must and moulderAnd what made me think we're any betterAnd what made me think we'd last foreverWas I so naive? Failing to perceiveMaypole, round goes the wheelMaypole, round goes the wheelMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one dayMaypole, the ties that bindYou will unwind to free me one day Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
