Chalk Circle Lyrics

Five Or Six Chalk Circle

Did your trial by virtue

And your innocent guilt

When your verdict for evenings

Is stained on your quilt

And a case to be closed

Is a case to be packed

Upweighted with reason

And judged by your tact

There was a time when a look in the eye

Meant a smile and not a frown

But that is gone

There was a time when a look in the eye

Meant a smile and not a frown

But that is gone

So draw a chalk circle

Play the ritual part

Do I stand in the middle

Take my arm - pull apart

There was a time when a look in the eye

Meant a smile and not a frown

But that is gone

There was a time when a look in the eye

Meant a smile and not a frown

But that is gone

Was this in a friend

To defect is denial

The denial by virtue

Is a virtue on trial
