The Wheel And The Maypole Lyrics

The Wheel And The Maypole lyrics

I've got the plow if you've got the furrow
I've got the rabbit if you've his
burrow hole
I've got the pen if you've got the paper
Time is but clay
I'll see you and the wheel turn
You and the wheel turn

chorus:
And
if the pot won't hold our love
If the pot won't hold our love
If the pot
won't hold our love
Then we'll dash it to the ground
And if the pot won't
hold our love
If the pot won't hold our love
If the pot won't hold our
love
We'll build one bigger all around
goes the wheel

I've got the
seed if you've got the valley
I've got the big stick if you've Aunt Sally's
head
I've got the time if you've got the motion
Time is but clay I'll see
you and the wheel turn
You and the wheel turn

chorus

chorus
2:
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole you've spun me round and knocked me off my
axis Monday
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind
to free me one day
and everything decays

Yes, everything
decays
Forest tumbles down to make the soil
Planets fall apart
Just to
feed the stars and stuff their ours

And what made me think we're any
better
and what made me think we'd last forever
was I so naive?
of
course it all unweaves

chorus 2

Pyramids and palaces to
dust
Empires crumbling
Wedding cake begins to must and molder

And
what made me think we're any better
and what made me think we'd last
forever
was I so naive?
failing to perceive

Maypole (round goes
the wheel)
Maypole (round goes the wheel)
Maypole (the ties that bind you
will unwind to free me one day)
Maypole (if the pot won't hold our
love)
etc.
