Barclay James Harvest - Ring of changes - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The Morse code with which Les’s title track begins actually spells out "ring of changes", and the album’s theme of cyclical change is continued in the circular artwork, the lyrics of this song and the reprise of the orchestral motif at the end, bringing us neatly back to where we came in.

Lyrics:

Talk of tomorrow

And you talk of the times that have been

The wheels keep on turning

Turning circles we go round again

Never ending the time is bending

These songs all the same

And we will stand listening

Looking back on the ones that remain

And time hurries on

We are here, we are gone

And time passes on

All the words of your song

Turn the pages

Nothing ages

That's what you will see

Turn the pages

Ring of changes

Is what it will be

The sun when it's rising

Paints a shadow on where it has been

And night is surprising

To the people who stand in between

Filling spaces you see their face

As they wake from their dream

And we will stand looking

Taking note of the things we have seen

And time hurries on

We are here, we are gone

And time passes on

All the words of your song

Turn the pages

Nothing ages

That's what you will see

Turn the pages

Ring of changes

Is what it will be
