Spinning Song

Once there was a song

The song yearned to be sung

It was a spinning song

About the king of rock 'n' roll

The king was first a young prince

The prince was the best

With his black jelly hair

He crashed onto a stage in Vegas

The king had a queen

The queen's hair was a stairway

She tended the castle garden

And in the garden planted a tree

The garden tree was a stairway

It was sixteen branches high

On the top branch was a nest

Sing the high cloudy nest

In the nest there was a bird

The bird had a wing

The wing had a feather

Spin the feather and sing the wind

The king in time died

The queen's heart broke like a vow

And the tree returned to the earth

With the nest and the bird

But the feather spun upward

Upward and upward

Spinning all the weather vanes

And you're sitting at the kitchen table

Listening to the radio

And I love you

And I love you

And I love you

And I love you

And I love you

And I love you

And I love you

Peace will come in

Peace will come in

Peace will come in time

A time will come

A time will come

A time will come for us

Peace will come in

Peace will come in

Peace will come in time

A time will come

A time will come

A time will come for us
