Circle Dance
Music by Meg the Minstrel

(Chorus)Dancing ground, stamping ground
Revelling to the beating drum
Lost in movement, stamping ground
Lost in time, aged but ageless
Deep in dancing, revel on

Walking quickly, quickly walking
Don’t look up, walking home
Walking quickly, don’t look up
Quickly if you hear the song:
Don’t follow on, sneaking, nosey
Creeping forward, trying to see
Peeking, sneaking, seeking on
Keep on forwards; don’t go peeking
Don’t seek the pixies’ circle dance

(Chorus)

Music sneaking, in breaks song
Quickly foot is tapping
Tapping foot, sneaking music
Sneaking music, tapping feet
Tapping feet will lure you in:
Sprites and pixies, laughing, dancing,
Draw you on and dance the round
Fiddle music, sprites, pixies
Brightest pixies, fiddle music
You’ve joined the pixies’ circle dance

(Chorus)

Cavorting, whirling, circle round
Captured and uncaring
Dance delight, and cares all gone
Cares all gone, delighted dance
Dance to music all untamed:
With thought all gone gyrate and whirl
Thumping drums beating your heart
Leap and fall, fall and die
Fall and die, the decades passing
While you dance the pixies’ circle dance
