lyrics

CYCLES
(Back to the Eyes of a Child)

When the wind moves through the forest
And the lark is on the wing
As the days are growing longer
You can feel the hint of Spring

In the tall grass of the meadow
In the May-Day misty dawn
In the womb of Mother Nature
Is the will to carry on

Back to the Garden
Come back to the Earth
Back where the heart is still wild
Back to the notion of time and rebirth
Back to the eyes of a child

On the long, slow days of Summer
When the wheat stands ripe and tall
And the blackbird haunts the corn-field
As the hot wind comes to call

In the cleansing of the rainfall
And the sweet smell of the land
Comes a feeling almost holy
Hard to hold or understand

Back to the Garden
Come back to the Earth
Back where the heart is still wild
Back to the notion of time and rebirth
Back to the eyes of a child

On the last days of October
When the trees turn red and gold
In a blaze of autumn fire
When the moon shines big and bold

There is magic in the dancing
Of the swirling Autumn leaves
Tenderness and true romancing
In the things the heart believes

Back to the Garden
Come back to the Earth
Back where the heart is still wild
Back to the notion of time and rebirth
Back to the eyes of a child

In the deep, dark grip of Winter
When the sky is white with snow
And the nights go on forever
Even time is moving slow

With the waning of Decembers
Fading Carols softly ring
A dream is rising from the embers
Of resurrection in the Spring

Back to the Garden
Come back to the Earth
Back where the heart is still wild
Back to the notion of time and rebirth
Back to the eyes of a child

When the wind moves through the forest
And the lark is on the wing
As the days are growing longer
You can feel the breath of Spring
