Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wheel of the Year (goes round and round)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wheel of the Year (goes round and round)
Awright, awright, nobody knows it, hmmm?
Here's what I trancribed from a tape:
CHORUS:
The wheel of the year goes round and round
The wheel of the year goes round
Turns top to the bottom and the bottom to the top
The wheel of the year goes round and round

Oh the seed [heads?] die and the grass doth [ring?]
At harvest time it is sweet and mown
Then the [fig?] [pig?] doth die[lie?] and the grass doth spring
and the wheel of the year goes round and round

At Llamas time the [ship?] we black
And in the dark the fires we ban
And the sun goes down and the moon comes up
All things work together in the Weaver's plan

Oh dark is light and light is dark
I'll tell you a riddle if you'll bend to me an ear
Oh death and life are but one thing
Like sides of a penny or the wheel of the year

Our thanks to yonder good gray knight
Who bends his neck to the coming of the [sights?]
For all that liveth feed on death
All things that die serve the cause of life

Are there ones like this for other pagan holidays, if this one is just for Llamas?
Blessings,
Barbara
