Story Behind The Song
Thinking about existential things such as life, death and love.
Song Description
I recorded this song in Winnipeg and had the thrill of bringing in Burton Cummings (of the Guess Who) on vocals- he did his best Tom Wait impression on this circusy disjointed song!

Lyrics
take me back into the garden
where i was born
lay me in the flowers
keep me warm
all i ever wanted, wanted
is to die in peace and love
surrounded by the dust of my birth
your arms form a circle
draw me in
keep my here beside you
till i give in
all i've ever wanted, wanted
here in comfort i'll remain
free to death and fear and pain
chorus:
round and round and round we'll go
where it stops i'll never know
if i die before i wake
pray the lord my soul to take
leave, leave me in the ashes
of desire
surrender to the silence
into the fire
all i never wanted, wanted
is to burn in passions' flames
now that only dust remains
