Eternal Circle - Studio Outtake - 1963
Lyrics
I sang the song slowly As she stood in the shadows She stepped to the light As my silver strings spun She called with her eyes To the tune I's a-playin' But the song it was long And I'd only begun Through a bullet of light Her face was reflectin' The fast fading words That rolled from my tongue With a long-distance look Her eyes was on fire But the song it was long And there was more to be sung ♪ My eyes danced a circle Across her clear outline With her head tilted sideways She called me again ♪ As the tune drifted out She breathed hard through the echo But the song it was long And it was far to the end ♪ I glanced at my guitar And played it pretendin' That of all the eyes out there I could see none As her thoughts pounded hard Like the pierce of an arrow But the song it was long And it had to get done ♪ As the tune finally folded I laid down the guitar Then looked for the girl Who'd stayed for so long But her shadow was missin' For all of my searchin' So I picked up my guitar And began the next song
