I've been listening to Tom Rawson's "Where the Coho Flash Silver" a lot of late, and there are some songs on it I hadn't heard before and that I really really like. "Passing through" is one, and "Take a Box, an Ordinary Box" another, and maybe best of all "Circle of Light"... which the wife wanted the lyrics to so I wrote 'em down and then thought I'd better share with the Cat...

CIRCLE OF LIGHT

by Mari Anderson on her CD Visible by Night
as sung by Tom Rawson on his CD Where the Coho Flash Silver

In a circle of fire, in a circle of light,
Come together, come to sing, come to this night
Come on sisters, come on brothers,
Climb on board and hang on tight,
We're taking flight in a circle of light

In a circle of light, in a circle of peace,
You can lay your burdens down and be released
Every heart is hungry, come on, welcome to the feast
Of harmony in a circle of peace

In a circle of peace, in a circle of friends
Leave your troubles at the door and start again
No more whispering in the shadows, come on, join the angel band
And lend a hand in a circle of friends

In a circle of friends, in a circle of song
Every frog and every sparrow, sing along!
If they told you to be silent you could show them they were wrong
It'll make you strong in a circle of song

In a circle of song, in a circle of fire
Catch the spark, 'twill set you blazing with desire
Every voice can move a mountain, every breath can be a choir
And we'll conspire in a circle of fire

In a circle of fire, in a circle of light
Come together, come to sing, come to this night
Let it echo in the valley, Let it ring from the mountain height
We're taking flight in a circle of light
Gonna set things right in a circle of light
Gonna sing all night in a circle of light.
