Eternal Circle

[Verse 1]

I sang the song slowly as she stood in the shadows

She stepped to the light as my silver strings spun

She called with her eyes to the tune I’s a-playing

But the song it was long and I’d only begun

[Verse 2]

Through a bullet of light, her face was reflecting

The fast fading words that rolled from my tongue

With a long-distance look, her eyes was on fire

But the song it was long and there was more to be sung

[Verse 3]

My eyes danced a circle across her clear outline

With her head tilted sideways, she called me again

As the tune drifted out, she breathed hard through the echo

But the song it was long and it was far to the end

[Verse 4]

I glanced at my guitar and played it pretending

That of all the eyes out there, I could see none

As her thoughts pounded hard like the pierce of an arrow

But the song it was long and it had to get done

[Verse 5]

As the tune finally folded, I laid down the guitar

And then looked for the girl who’d stayed for so long

But her shadow was missing for all of my searching

So I picked up my guitar and began the next song
