Song Lyrics

I've been here for a million years
Through the joy, through the tears
But when I am gone this will go on
And the circle starts again

I've watched the mountains rise from dust
Saw the gold return to rust
I had cried when the oceans died
And the circle starts again

Oh
Ah

I was here when the world began to turn
Kissed the sun as it started to burn
The whispering at the reckoning said
"The circle starts again"

The moon was rising from above
I caught her eye and thought it was love
But she turned her back, the sky went black
And the circle starts again

Oh
Ah

I danced through castles made of stone
Walked the desert sands alone
In the midnight hour you feel the power
And the circle starts again

Now the question falls to you, my friend
No beginning has no end
Will we ever learn, will the world still turn,
Will the circle start again?

Oh
Ah

Candice Night, Ritchie Blackmore
