INTRO: C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 F5 A5 G5

C5                         Bb5          
There's a ring around the moon tonight 

C5                  Bb5
and a chill in the air
C5                 Bb5               C5 - F5        A5   G5
And a fire in the stars that hang so near, so near

C5                      Bb5              C5                         Bb5
There's a sound in the wind that blows through the wild mountain holds

C5                   Bb5           C5   F5             A5  G5
Like the sighs of a thousand crying souls, crying souls

Fill: F5   G5


There's a time when the traveler is fated to find
That insight has turned his gaze behind, behind
And the steps taken yesterday will beckon again
And lead to his weary journey's end, his journey's end

(Chorus)
F5          G5                E5            A5 - G5  
And in the passage from the cradle to the grave 
F5      G5           E5   A5 - G5
we are born, madly dancing
F5       G5                    E5              A5
Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days
       Bb5        F5                   G5
We run on and on without a backwards glance
       Bb5        F5                   G5
We run on and on without a backwards glance

A5                      G5              A5        E5   A5
I cast my fate with the wife of Lot I turned my gaze around
A5              G5                 F5                    G5
Knowing neither what I sought nor what was to be found
A5                G5                    A5      E5        A5
Heeding weakness, feeding strength, oh life at length is frail
  A5             G5                      F5                      
I seek again the river's source through time's dark shadowed veil

SOLO: C5  Bb5  C5  Bb5  C5  Bb5  F5  A5  G5

In the fast fading century, as we spin through the years
I pray that our failing vision clears, our vision clears

(Chorus)

The places dash and the faces dart like fishes in a dream
Hiding 'neath the murky banks of long forgotten streams
The lines of life are never long when seen from end to end
The future's never coming, and the past has never been


There's a ring around the moon tonight, and a chill in the air
And a fire in the stars that hang so near, so near
