[Josh Ritter - Orbital lyrics]
So it was that everything
That went to make up everything
Was wrapped up tight inside a grain
Of great insistence
And then someone gave the great command
All things paired off for the dance
The great to small, the small to grand
Down to this instant, oh ooh
The hawk around the field mouse
The love around a lover’s mouth
I find my mind is settling down
In circuit's 'round you
And the angels round their crowded pins
The amber-waved electrons spin
In planetary transit's
'Round the ones they’re bound to ooh
Who do you circle 'round?
Who is it circles 'round you?
Is it circles 'round you?
Who is it circles 'round you?
Do you circle 'round who?
It is circles 'round you
The ghost around the one it haunts
The want around the thing it wants
The way the mind just wanders
Off and then returns to
And the thought around the second thought
Love or gravity or law
Whatever name it’s got, it’s got me
Circling round you
And the guess around the second guess
The hornet 'round the hornet’s nest
The wheel time, the wheel fate
The light that bends it'self through space
The light that with it carries time
Which also bends in the same line
Relative to point of view
So when I catch a glimpse of you
Every time you come around
The room lights up and time slows too
Ooh
That went to make up everything
Was wrapped up tight inside a grain
Of great insistence
And then someone gave the great command
All things paired off for the dance
The great to small, the small to grand
Down to this instant, oh ooh
The hawk around the field mouse
The love around a lover’s mouth
I find my mind is settling down
In circuit's 'round you
And the angels round their crowded pins
The amber-waved electrons spin
In planetary transit's
'Round the ones they’re bound to ooh
Who do you circle 'round?
Who is it circles 'round you?
Is it circles 'round you?
Who is it circles 'round you?
Do you circle 'round who?
It is circles 'round you
The ghost around the one it haunts
The want around the thing it wants
The way the mind just wanders
Off and then returns to
And the thought around the second thought
Love or gravity or law
Whatever name it’s got, it’s got me
Circling round you
And the guess around the second guess
The hornet 'round the hornet’s nest
The wheel time, the wheel fate
The light that bends it'self through space
The light that with it carries time
Which also bends in the same line
Relative to point of view
So when I catch a glimpse of you
Every time you come around
The room lights up and time slows too
Ooh
