Circle Of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
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[00:00:32]
Sights and sounds of the people goin' round[00:00:34]
Everybody's in step with the season[00:00:37]
A child is born to a welfare case[00:00:44]
Where the rats run[00:00:47]
Around like they own the place[00:00:49]
The room is chilly [00:00:53]
The building is old[00:00:54]
That's how it goes[00:00:58]
The doctors found on his welfare rounds[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 lets 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[00:01:52]
Says Look here child[00:01:57]
Your fathers 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[00:02:24]
Sights and sounds of the people goin' round[00:02:26]
Everybody's in step with the season[00:02:29]
