Gather Round

from Slugger by Dave Keener

lyrics

First there was sun
Then came the moon
And they spun and circled so far from each other
looking and searching for someone to talk to
And then the sun set eyes on the moon
Their joy sent meteors and comets in every direction
And one they called earth
They bathed it in sea
They filled so much with fishes
They walked on the sand
And flew in the air
And made every animal

Gather round lads and lasses
While I tell you all a tale
Let’s all raise our glasses
To the making of a beautiful world
spinning and shining
With no supervision
For ever and ever
For just you and me

He was man
She was woman
He was all right to look at
And she was so fine
They left the bar
He had no car
But he didn’t really need one
Where he was living
They were not old, they were not new
You could say that it wasn’t their very first rodeo
They’d been hurt and they had the rings to prove it
First they were two and when they were one.
Their joy sent meteors and comets
In every direction

Gather round lads and lasses
While I tell you all a tale
Let’s all raise our glasses
To the making of a beautiful one
Spinning and shining
As of this writing
Doing all right
Last time I checked
