"Circle Dream" by 10000 Maniacs

[ Buck/Drew/Gustafson/Augustyniak/Merchant ]


[ percussion: Paulinho Da Costa ] 

I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round. 
And in that circle I had made were all the worlds unformed
and unborn yet. 
A volume, a sphere that was the earth, that was the moon,
that did revolve around my room. 

I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round. 
And in that circle was a maze, a terrible spiral to be lost
in. 
Blind in my fear, I was escaping just by feel. 
But at every turn my way was sealed. 

I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round. 
And in that circle was a face. 
Her eyes looked upon me with fondness. 
Her warmth coming near, calling me "sweetness,"
calling me "dear." 
But I whispered, "no, I can't rest here." 

I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round.
