A live recording of the opening song I played at Pocklington Arts Centre in October 2025 when I supported Ruth Lyon. Many thanks to Ben Wall for providing the recording.

The Circle

I never watched the world escape
The clutches of my hands
Quite like anyone

And I never let the ground give way
To see me as I am
Just like anyone

With your words, you lay me down
With your words, oh you lay me down

Why, hold on to the day again
It’s passed you by
Despite your reverence

Lie staring at the circle again
It takes so long
To pick it up and start again

With your words, you pass me by
With your words, oh you pass me by
With your words, you pass me by
Oh now, now you pass me up again
