I've got the plow if you've got the furrow I've got the rabbit if you've his burrow home I've got the pen if you've got the paper Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn You and the wheel turn
Chorus: And if the pot won't hold our love If the pot won't hold our love If the pot won't hold our love Then we'll dash it to the ground And if the pot won't hold our love If the pot won't hold our love If the pot won't hold our love We'll build one bigger all around Goes the wheel
I've got the seed if you've got the valley I've got the big stick if you've aunt sally's head I've got the time if you've got the motion Time is but clay and I'll see you and the wheel turn You and the wheel turn
Chorus
Chorus 2: Maypole Maypole Maypole you've spun me round and knocked me off my axis mundi Maypole Maypole Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day And everything decays
Yes, everything decays Forest tumbles down to make the soil Planets fall apart Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders
And what made me think we're any better And what made me think we'd last forever Was I so naive? Of course it all unweaves
Chorus 2
Pyramids and palaces to dust Empires crumble in Wedding cake begins to must and molder
And what made me think we're any better And what made me think we'd last forever Was I so naive? Failing to perceive
Maypole (round goes the wheel) Maypole (round goes the wheel) Maypole (the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day) Maypole (if the pot won't hold our love) Etc.
