Circle Dream
10,000 Maniacs Song Lyrics

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.
