[Verse 1]
I was born with this story, it's older than I
And yet, you, when you hear, it you'll know in the sky
In the wind of your knowledge, in the cut of your jib
That the fibre of wind is as new from my lip

[Refrain 1]
As was ever and more and ever will be
Till the union we face casts us finally free

[Chorus]
For we, in the love of an earth-bidden dance
Stand enthralled of that, which from heaven, perchance
Lets us move with the gifts we were given in grace
And smile in the arms of sweet William's

Embrace...

[Verse 2]
William's wanderings took him abroad
Showed him the lay of the searcher's long road
To the place he stood now 'neath the black laden sky
And the crook of his father had brought fortune nigh

[Refrain 2]
Read the sign where he looked; not the bull, nor the bear
Nor a burly red lion, or the tortoise and hare
