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 were any better And what made me think wed 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 wont hold our love) Etc. |
