Circle Around the Sun by Poi Dog Pondering Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My ghost is everywhere here
It hangs on every tree
Lingering with every flower and leaf
Smell of scent, and sight and sound
These are calling cards of other times

[Verse 2]
Familiar days and forgotten phases
Like water trickle down, down, down
Time is an ocean, and I'm set to swim
And I'm tumbled by her

[Chorus]
Circle around the sun, turn, turn, turn
One day my turn will come
I'm stretched by time and torn by fate
I'm held together by the flesh of faith

[Verse 3]
Pushing up, I hope for the sun
But I'll take the rain with what all it comes
I walk, my feet roll, my arms sway to and fro
Who am I to try to guide my life?
[Verse 4]
Like the tribes that came before us
And all the kings and queens
And our ancestors through the centuries
Through the birth of a child
I return the gift that was given me
The wind on the skin, and the pull of gravity

[Chorus]
Circle around the sun, turn, turn, turn
One day my turn will come
I'm living every minute and dying every day
I hope my heart is in the right place
