Keep This Tune in Our Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Salt wind combs the headland grass Gulls wheel over slate and foam You tuck your scarf against the cold And point the old road home [Chorus] Come round, my dear, let the circle turn Heel to the earth where the gorse blooms gold Come round, my dear, while the tide runs high We’ll keep this tune in our hands tonight [Verse 2] At Quimper market, rain taps tin Red apples shine beside the pears You laugh and lift the basket up As bells ring through the square [Chorus] Come round, my dear, let the circle turn Heel to the earth where the gorse blooms gold Come round, my dear, while the tide runs high We’ll keep this tune in our hands tonight [Bridge] Across the bay, the lamps come on The harbor ropes pull taut and sing Your hand finds mine beside the quay And every road leads in [Chorus] Come round, my dear, let the circle turn Heel to the earth where the gorse blooms gold Come round, my dear, while the tide runs high We’ll keep this tune in our hands tonight [Outro] The tide runs high, the tide runs high We’ll keep this tune in our hands tonight
