Hark listen here he comes
Hark listen here he comes
Turning, spinning, Catherine wheeling
For ever changing
There's no beginning
Speeding through a charcoal sky
Observe the truth we cannot hide

Traveling eternity road
What will you find there?
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind

You'll see us all around
You'll see us all around
Turning, spinning, Catherine wheeling
For ever changing
There's no beginning
You're so very far from home
And so very much alone

Traveling eternity road
What will you find there?
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind

Traveling eternity road
What will you find there?
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind
