I've got the plow if you've got the furrow
|
I've got the rabbit if you've his burrow home
|
I've got the pen if you've got the paper
|
Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn
|
You and the wheel turn
|
|
chorus:
|
And if the pot won't hold our love
|
If the pot won't hold our love
|
If the pot won't hold our love
|
Then we'll dash it to the ground
|
And if the pot won't hold our love
|
If the pot won't hold our love
|
If the pot won't hold our love
|
We'll build one bigger all around
|
goes the wheel
|
|
I've got the seed if you've got the valley
|
I've got the big stick if you've Aunt Sally's head
|
I've got the time if you've got the motion
|
Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn
|
You and the wheel turn
|
|
chorus

|
chorus 2:
|
Maypole
|
Maypole
|
Maypole you've spun me round and knocked me off my axis mundi
|
Maypole
|
Maypole
|
Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day
|
and everything decays
|
|
Yes, everything decays
|
Forest tumbles down to make the soil
|
Planets fall apart
|
Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders
|
|
And what made me think we're any better
|
and what made me think we'd last forever
|
was I so naive?
|
of course it all unweaves
|
|
chorus 2
|
|
Pyramids and palaces to dust
|
Empires crumble in
|
Wedding cake begins to must and molder
|
|
And what made me think we're any better
|
and what made me think we'd last forever
|
was I so naive?
|
failing to perceive
|
|
Maypole (round goes the wheel)
|
Maypole (round goes the wheel)
|
Maypole (the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day)
|
Maypole (if the pot won't hold our love)
|
etc.
