Tom Paxton - Spin And Turn lyrics

Deep in the night a baby Takes his first deep breath and cries His momma's tired and happy Daddy's head is in the skies The fiddler resins up her bow And the guitar tunes a string The circle dancers part To let another others join the ring Spin and turn Life goes on and on Circles around the sun Till the final dance is done Spin and turn We've been here and gone Sing it with us now - Spin and turn Life goes on and on Circles around the sun Till the final dance is done Spin and turn We've been here and gone Early in life the young man Finds a woman who is wise He takes her in his arms And finds tomorrow in her eyes They dance around the circle Till the two of them are one They do the dance of life Until a new life has begun Spin and turn Life goes on and on Circles around the sun Till the final dance is done Spin and turn We've been here and gone Old men telling children Of the world when they were young Children telling old men of their dreams Mother, daughters, fathers, sons Around and around, the circle runs In streams Till deep in the night an old man Takes his final steps and sighs Across the lake the music Echoes to the midnight skies While, deep within, the ancient song Is rising in his breast For him, the hour is late And now it's time he took his rest Spin and turn Life goes on and on Circles around the sun Till the final dance is done Spin and turn We've been here and gone And deep in the night a baby Takes her first breath and cries Her momma's tired and happy Daddy's head is in the skies Spin and turn Life goes on and on
