Turning
by
Bob MacKenzie


You never know just where the world will go
When you're turning,
When you're burning.
Turn, turn my head around again and dance,
Dance airy reels the sun reveals and lights,
and I'll dance too.

You never know just where the world may be
Or where I'll be
When you're turning.
We were together when the sky was young -
Remember when we were together, Love -
Now you're dancing.

Bend, never turn toward yes this, my world
In your burning,
Ever turning.
You never know just where the world will go,
In airy reels that light reveals at nights,
When you're turning.
