Roundabout by Yes

From Wikipedia:
"Roundabout" is the track which opens the 1971 album Fragile produced by British progressive rock band Yes. In 1972, an edited version of the song was released as a single with "Long Distance Runaround" on the B side. The single has been listed at #15 on one list of 1972s best songs, and "Roundabout" has become one of the best-known songs by Yes. "Roundabout" was written by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe.

Although the song's cryptic lyrics are believed by some to have philosophical themes, Anderson says that the words simply came to him while driving to the studio one early morning.

Howe's use of octave harmonics on the acoustic guitar introduction of the song, plucking the four notes that would comprise an Em chord on an open guitar, has become one of his signature pieces of guitar work. In the film School of Rock, Fragile is given to the keyboardist Lawrence as he is told to listen to the keyboard solo on "Roundabout".

An acoustic arrangement of "Roundabout" was recorded for The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection.

Lyrics:
(Jon Anderson/Steve Howe)

I'll be the round about
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll spend the day your way......
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley......

The muses dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I'll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley.....

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky
and they Stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and
Laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be
There with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere......
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
Even in the valley......

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky
and they Stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and
Laughing too ooo oo oo
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be
There with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching
Down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees
The rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather
Spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more
Than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers
By in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by million years

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out........

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky they
Stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be
There........

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
We spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley.... eh

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they
Stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see You
Ten true summers we'll be there and
Laughing too ooo
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be
There with you.....
