Leader of the Ring

Through the frosty window pane

We catch a glimse of stars.

Smiling as they sail around.

Knowing it ain't up to them -

It's all down to us.

Watch the weary faces

As we pass the pipe again.

Laughing slide in empty streams

All the way in the cause

Of long, long last dreams.

Conversations drift to grow in

Smoke-rings at the moon.

And when we try to argue

All our words spin around in circles.

Like a circus we all need to heed

The very learned leader of the ring,

The very learned leader of the ring

We all need to heed

The leader of the ring.
