| 作词 : Partridge | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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) |
