(And) We All Go Round Again

Under the sun of the very first day
Tu ra lu ra folen day
There was a man and there was a maid
Folen dara tu ri aye
And on the dawn of that very first day
They met a goatherd who was piping away
And his pipe sounded shrill and it echoes on still
And we all go round again

Just then Kingfisher was walking the Ridge
Tura lura folen day
And met with others all on the bridge
Folen dara tu ri aye
Miraculous moments in harmonious time
I sing for the memory in this little rhyme
And the song is long and the song carries on
And we all go round again

Next to show was Huru~Guru Tim
Tura lura folen day
And he had made a curious thing
Folen dara tu ri aye
And he brought the curious thing with him
And the thing was a horn and it blew a din
Tim blew the horn and he blew it long
And we all go round again

The young Sir Declan came along
Tura lura folen day
And he started strumming a strange old song
Folen dara tu ri aye
It all started swirling from under his toes
And all the little animals knew which way to go
He strummed hard and strummed long
And we all go round again

As we set on the track the moon did rise
Tura lura folen day
We arrived in time for quite a surprise
Folen dara tu ri aye
Rainbow Lizzie gave me leggings
But I ripped them on barbed wire
Set on the track and never looked back
And we all go round again

Dave Sanger and Amanda wanted me along
Tura lura folen day
When they were handfasted at the Stones
Folen dara tu ri aye
Like a ruby yolk the orb it shone
We had all absorbed into the one
The moon came up when the sun went down
And we all go round again 

The County rounds we did go
Tura lura folen day
To bring our canvas to the show
Folen dara tu ri aye
We went East and we went West
Rotting staging did for the rest
Yet in perfect time the show did roll 
And we all go round again

Clouds gathered in on those gathered there
Tura lura folen day
But the rain that fell was precious rare
Folen dara tu ri aye
When the sun came out there were rainbows there
And on the roof we could only stare
The rain fell down and the sun came out
And we all go round again

Storms over Albion looking grim
Tura lura folen day
Gather all the bushells in
Folen dara tu ri aye
Mud at Pilton was adverse
Veterans said it was the worst
The storm it blew and the storm blew through
And we all go round again

Keeping vigil till the dawn
Tura lura folen day
Tends to make one stifle yawns
Folen dara tu ri aye
Like a ruby yolk the orb it shone
We all absorbed into the one
Becoming one with the moon and sun
And we all go round again

Kingfisher was about and Andy and Rich
Tura lura folen day
I was at George's digging a ditch
Folen dara tu ri aye
Nik Turner played sax in the Stones
Huru~Guru Tim's two horns did drone
And the sun came up when the moon went down
And we all go round again

Great thinkers of our times remind us
Tura lura folen day
We may make our lives sublime
Folen dara tu ri aye
Aldous Huxley on his Island
Invited us to make a stand
And we stand long and we stand strong
And we all go round again

Midsummer saw Sanger on his stage by the Stones
Tura lura folen day
Announcing that his wife had given birth that morn
Folen dara tu ri aye
Tim, Declan and I tracked up the trail
Peace and love it does prevail
And the Stones stood long and the Stones stood high
And we all go round again
