Turning, Turning

In this life there was me

and me was I

turning, turning,

spinning, spinning

An orbit around the universe

I knew the stars, the suns

the moons, the heavenly ones

that shone upon worlds

I found myself in those

The moons orbit love

and lovers that are us

I wasn’t me and me wasn’t I

In this life there was you

and you were I

turning, turning

spinning, spinning

An orbit around us

We knew the stars, the suns

the moons, the heavenly bodies

that shone upon love

We found ourselves

in moons that orbited us

and lovers we become

In this life there was we

and we were all

We orbited the universe
