Circle Dream

10,000 Maniacs · Trilogy [2005]

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

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)

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)

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 can't rest here (I dreamed of)



I dreamed of a circle (I dreamed of a circle)

I dreamed of a circle round

I dreamed of a circle (I dreamed of a circle)

I dreamed of a circle round
