about

Tim explains why he wrote the song:

“I wrote this song for Dave’s brother Steve, who died, aged 17, of leukaemia. It's about him and mortality.

Einstein says that energy can’t be created or destroyed – merely converted from one form to another.

The cycle of the seasons is a classic metaphor for reincarnation.
In the universe there are cycles within cycles.

Dan’s keyboard solo is pretty cosmic, too!”

lyrics

Cycle Of The Year

Hey, I’m your brother
Can’t you see I’m so alone
It’s a new day
Sun is shinning
Fields are dry
Gone the frosty nights behind you.

Babe, your face is clear
But cold to touch and full of fear
Why don’t you hold me near you?
But your eyes are still hiding
From the sunlight

Wait, look to the future
The Earth is turning
Your breath is slow
The winter waits for you
The spring will follow soon
The summers end will call
The summer to the fall
The winter comes again
The spring will bring the rain
The summers warmth and light
The autumn’s darkened nights
Winters stars shine bright
