10000 Maniacs Circle Dream Lyrics

Circle Dream Lyrics

[ 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.
