Dr Hook The Medicine Show Rings Of Grass Lyrics

Rings Of Grass Lyrics

(S. Silverstein)







Rings of grass, crowns of flowers



Gone, gone, gone, gone



Furs that are woven of whispering hours



Gone, gone, gone, gone







She's gone away where the rings are real



And the furs have a warmth that a woman can feel



And 'round and 'round, around goes the wheel



And she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone







Rings of grass, crowns of flowers



Gone, gone, gone, gone



Castles of sand with seashell towers



Gone, gone, gone, gone







She's gone away where the dreams are small



But the castles are rock and they never fall



And left me here to live among all



That is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone







Rings of grass why do they die away?



Gone, gone, gone, gone



Whispering hours where do they fly away?



Gone, gone, gone, gone







And where's the wisdom to understand



That years will crumble all castles of sand



And the flowers and grass turn brown in our hands



When it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
