My life goes on in a circle of fifths

Around from the downs to the glorious lifts

It turns face to face with a memory that shifts

And dances to a Gypsy song



The baby I was now is far round the bend

I find myself humming the tunes that I send

Messengers looking for fortunes and friends

The circle of fifths never ends



Find me, I'm behind you a step

Ahead of the foolish and far away crowd

Won't you try me, I can dance like your dreams

As much as invention allows



My life goes on in a circle of fifths

Around from the downs to the glorious lifts

It turns face to face with a memory that shifts

And dances to a Gypsy song
