Valentine - Trey Anastasio

As we spin in circles

Walking a straight line

As we spin in circles

Walking a straight line

As we spin in circles

Walking a straight line

As we spin in circles

Walking a straight line

Silence, dark and long

And the thunder clap splits the night

And I’m standing in this field

Storms are all around me

All through the sky

I see strings of electricity

And I feel the power

Like it could burn my hands

Up above

The clouds are moving

And suddenly

The rain is all around me

Like sheets of glass

Coming down from the sky

Every drop is there to guide

Every drop is there to guide

Release, release

The ropes around your neck

We spin in circles

Walking a straight line

Spin in circles

Walking a straight line

We spin in circles

Walking a straight line

Jagged beams of light

Explode and dance in the darkness around me

And I can reach out and touch the beams

And the light turns solid and wraps around my wrist

One makes a loop

A thousand more follow

A thousand more follow till my arms are surrounded

By a conical web of light

My arms in the eyes of a web of light

A tornado of light beams

And I feel the pulling and start to rise

And every beam is there to guide

Release the ropes around your neck

The ropes around your neck

It is time to put the weight down

And the bricks and the blocks

Every drop is there to guide

Every beam is there to guide

Release, release, release

The ropes around your neck

Walking a straight line

As we spin in circles

Walking a straight line

We spin in circles

Walking a straight line
