Strawbs - Turn Me Round lyrics

rate me

My life is never peaceful<br />

As I fly me high above<br />

For I hover like an eagle<br />

With an olive branch of love<br />

With the vision of a hunter<br />

And the conscience of a dove.<br />

<br />

Turn me round.<br />

<br />

Now the eagle holds the aces<br />

When it comes to strength and pace<br />

For the dove is a beginner<br />

In the universal race<br />

But lonely is the hunter<br />

As he closes in the chase.<br />

<br />

Turn me round<br />

Clear my vision<br />

Let me see the light<br />

Turn me round<br />

Change position<br />

Give the blind man sight<br />

Turn me round.<br />

<br />

Let me see the tracery<br />

Of the lines upon your face<br />

As I kneel in contemplation<br />

Of your majesty and grace<br />

For the eagle in his sorrow<br />

Is a man in sure disgrace.<br />

<br />

My dove, my mediator<br />

May you flourish in your solitude<br />

A haven in the storm clouds<br />

Let me paint you in your studio<br />

May the brushmarks on the canvas<br />

Show the eagle in his eerie mood.
