Circle Of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

Written by：Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:01]

Rows of lights in a circle of steel[00:00:17]

Where you place your bets on a great big wheel[00:00:21]

High windows flickerin' down through the snow[00:00:26]

A time you know[00:00:31]

Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round[00:00:33]

Everybody's in step with the season[00:00:37]

A child is born to a welfare case[00:00:43]

Where the rats run around like they own the place[00:00:47]

The room is chilly the building is old[00:00:53]

That's how it goes[00:00:57]

The doctor's found on his welfare round[00:01:00]

And he comes and he leaves on the double[00:01:04]

Deck the halls was the song they played[00:01:10]

In the flat next door where they shout all day[00:01:14]

She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone[00:01:19]

The child is strong[00:01:24]

A week a day they will take it away[00:01:26]

For they know about all her bad habits[00:01:30]

Christmas dawns and the snow let's up[00:01:43]

And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup[00:01:46]

She hides her face in her hands for a while[00:01:51]

Says look here child[00:01:57]

Your father's pride was his means to provide[00:01:59]

And he's servin' three years for that reason[00:02:03]

Rows of lights in a circle of steel[00:02:09]

Where you place your bets on a great big wheel[00:02:13]

High windows flickerin' down through the snow[00:02:18]

A time you know[00:02:23]

Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round[00:02:25]

Everybody's in step with the season[00:02:29]
