Eternal Circle

[Verse 1]

I sung the song slowly

As he stood in the shadows

And he stepped to the light

As my silver strings spun

And he called with his eyes

To the tune I was playing

But the song, it was long

And I’d only begun

[Verse 2]

Through a bullet of light

His face was reflecting

All the fast fading words

That rolled from my tongue

With a long-distance look

His eyes were on fire

But the song, it was long

And there was more to be sung

[Verse 3]

My eyes danced a circle

Across his clear outline

With his head tilted sideways

He called me again

And as the tune drifted out

He breathed hard through the echo

But the song, it was long

And it was far to the end

[Verse 4]

So I glance at my guitar

And played it pretending

That of all the eyes out there

I could see none

But the thoughts pounded hard

Like the pierce of an arrow

But the song it was long

And it had to get done

[Verse 5]

So when the tune finally folded

I laid down the guitar

And I looked for the guy

Who’d stayed for so long

But his shadow was missing

For all of my searching

So I picked up my guitar

And began the next song
