Dance
London
2nd July 1997

(In memory of a gig at the Glastonbury Festival,
June 1997)
I see the
fire bright and red, smell the woodsmoke burning,
The lantern lies above your head, smiles and keeps me
turning;
That old ghost train has got me again, prompting and
reminding,
Nothing lost can be regained, no time can be unwinding.
So circle
round and weave your way, weave and leave me lonesome,
And when we meet again some day,
I'll post and pack and pick your hay, show I've changed in every
way,
Show I never meant to stay but only smiled in passing.
I see the
fire bright and red, only you that's missing,
The long and struggling life I led shapes my hopes and
grieving;
To have, to hold and know it too, feel the pain of kindness,
Believing in a heart so true, know this dance is
timeless.
