Lyrics

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 in 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
 It is circles round you?
 The ghost around the one it haunts
 The want around the thing that 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 slow tooooooooooooo!
