Orbital

So it was that everything That went to make up everything Was wrapped up tight inside a grain Of great insistence Then someone gave the great command All things paired off for the dance The great to small the small to grand Down to this instant Ooh! The hawk around the field mouse The love around a lover's mouth I find my mind is settling down In circuits round you The angels round their crowded pins The amber-waved electrons spin In planetary transits Round the ones they're bound to Ooh! Who do you circle round Who is it circles round you Is it circles round you? Who is it circles round you Do you circle round who Is it circles round you? The ghost around the one it haunts The want around the thing it wants The way the mind just wanders off and then returns to The thought around the second thought Love or gravity or law Whatever name it's got it's got me Circling round you The guess around the second guess The hornet round the hornet's nest The wheel time the wheel fate The light that bends itself through space The light that with it carries time Which also bends in the same line Relative to point of view So when I catch a glimpse of you Every time you come around The room lights up And time slows too! --- Orbital - Josh Ritter
