Eternal Circle

C I sang the song slowly G6 C As she stood in the shadows F She stepped to the light G6 C As my silver strings spun C G She called with her eyes F C To the tune I’s a-playing C Csus4 But the song it was long G6 C Csus4 Csus2 And I’d only begun C Through a bullet of light G6 C Her face was reflecting F The fast fading words G6 C That rolled from my tongue C G With a long-distance look F C Her eyes was on fire C Csus4 But the song it was long G6 C Csus4 Csus2 And there was more to be sung C My eyes danced a circle G6 C Across her clear outline F With her head tilted sideways G6 C She called me again C G As the tune drifted out F C She breathed hard through the echo C Csus4 But the song it was long G6 C Csus4 Csus2 And it was far to the end C I glanced at my guitar G6 C And played it pretending F That of all the eyes out there G6 C I could see none C G As her thoughts pounded hard F C Like the pierce of an arrow C Csus4 But the song it was long G6 C Csus4 Csus2 And it had to get done C As the tune finally folded G6 C I laid down the guitar F Then looked for the girl G6 C Who’d stayed for so long C G But her shadow was missing F C For all of my searching C Csus4 So I picked up my guitar G6 C Csus4 Csus2 And began the next song
