THE CIRCLE WHERE LOVE RESIDES

Rhythm of the Heart

native american song

The Circle Where Love Resides

Past a thousand midnights

Underneath ten billion stars

I waited for my love to find me

In the circle where love resides.

He was there, I was here

We were apart and dreaming

Of togetherness in our mortal flesh

With our souls eternal cleaving.

The wind sang his song to me

And took my reply back to his ears

The sky cried his tears on me

When my life was as dry as desert.

I waited and I waited there

Watching birds soar on the wing

Hearing men speak human words

Seeing Spring turn into Spring.

Past a hundred thousand midnights

Underneath uncounted stars

I felt him yearning, I felt him needing

And all my love reached out for him.

The clouds I weaved into soft blankets

The moon I turned to candle wax

The sun, my fire, through rain and snow

I shivered not, I did not sleep.

I knew that circle where love resides

Would return him to the place he left

I knew that cycle of losing and finding

Would lead him to the starting point.

I knew that all would come to pass

Like the old ones wrote in the stories of stars

I knew his wandering love would find 

My light in the darkness to lead him home.

I did not age, love cannot grow old

It branches like a tree with leaves

It does not die or cease to try

But oh, it grieves, but oh, it grieves.

So if he comes not for me by sun's downing

If he does not stand again by my side

I'll run to the mountain where the rock touches heaven

Mount up my spirit horse and to him will I ride.
