FOUR SEASONS
Dm C Dm
Breezes blow through the wood in springtime
Dm C Dm
Roots drink deep from the wakened earth
Dm C Dm
Young leaves shine in the quickening sunlight
Dm C Dm
Dance the song of the new year’s birth
Dm C Bb A
The dance goes on and it's never ending
Dm C Bb A
The circle turns and the singer sings
Dm C Bb A
The year turns round but the wood in springtime
Dm C Dm (Bb C C Dm)
Does not care what the winter brings
When the leaves are long in the days of summer
And the light drifts through them cool and green
Great trees stir in their dreaming sleep
And sing slow tales of the years they’ve seen
The dance goes on and lt's never ending
The circle turns and the tale unfold
The year turns on but the wood in summer
Has no thought for the winter's cold
Blackberry hazel and elderberry
Hang heavy and ripe in the shortening days
Bright as a banner the autumn leaves
Burn red in the old suns dying rays
The dance goes on and lt's never ending
The circle turns and returns again
The year turns on and the wood in autumn
Gathers itself for the winter's pain
When winter bites and the leaves have fallen
And through the hawthorn cold winds run
Through the dwindllng days the cruel-leaved holly
Keeps safe the memory of the sun
The dance goes on and lt's never ending
The circle turns and the singer sings
The year burns low but the winter wood
Still holds the memory of the spring
