Stone Circles

from A Twist in the Story by Anne Lister

/

about

Another re-recording of a song from the Anonyma "Burnt Feathers" album from 1987.

lyrics

Nobody is an island, there’s no way you can cut free
Nobody is an island, there’s no way you can be cut off by sea

And everything I do, touches you, and everything I am, you hold in your hand
And it seems to me that we are standing stones
There’s no way that we can ever be on our own
And even if at times it seems that we are all alone
We’re in stone circles, marking time, of standing stones.

Nobody’s an outsider, there’s no way you can cut loose
Nobody’s an outsider, there’s always some way to pay your dues.

And everything I do, touches you, and everything I am, you hold in your hand
And it seems to me that we are standing stones
There’s no way that we can ever be on our own
And even if at times it seems that we are all alone
We’re in stone circles, marking time, of standing stones.

The circle stands for ever, there’s no angle there to chip or break
The circle stands for ever, there’s no straight line to show a slight mistake.

And everything I do, touches you, and everything I am, you hold in your hand
And it seems to me that we are standing stones
There’s no way that we can ever be on our own
And even if at times it seems that we are all alone
We’re in stone circles, marking time, of standing stones.

The wind blows from the hillside, but we stand firm and we do not bend
The wind blows from the hillside, the circle is a pattern with no end.

And everything I do, touches you, and everything I am, you hold in your hand
And it seems to me that we are standing stones
There’s no way that we can ever be on our own
And even if at times it seems that we are all alone
We’re in stone circles, marking time, of standing stones.

We mustn’t break the circle, there’s no easy way to be released
We mustn’t break the circle, and if we stand together we’ll find peace.

And everything I do, touches you, and everything I am, you hold in your hand
And it seems to me that we are standing stones
There’s no way that we can ever be on our own
And even if at times it seems that we are all alone
We’re in stone circles, marking time, of standing stones.
