The Circle

I've been here for a million years Through the joy, through the tears But when I am gone this will go on And the circle starts again I've watched the mountains rise from dust Saw the gold return to rust I had cried when the oceans died And the circle starts again Oh Ah I was here when the world began to turn Kissed the sun as it started to burn The whispering at the reckoning said "The circle starts again" The moon was rising from above I caught her eye and thought it was love But she turned her back, the sky went black And the circle starts again Oh Ah I danced through castles made of stone Walked the desert sands alone In the midnight hour you feel the power And the circle starts again Now the question falls to you, my friend No beginning has no end Will we ever learn, will the world still turn, Will the circle start again? Oh Ah --- The Circle - Rainbow and Blackmore's Night
