Circle Dream Songtext
von 10,000 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.
