I was mostly in listening mode for the Zoom filk circle
with so many great performers and songs. This was
the only new one I did. Comments and improvements welcome :)

A New Song - (c) words 2022 David Union, tune: River by B.Staines

You have heard all the songs that I usually sing D D G D
Heard them three times maybe four D D A A
So I've written new words for the circle to bring D D G D
Some thing you've not heard here before. D A D D

The late night cons of my younger days D D G D
How quickly the time has flown past D D A A
The memories linger of the singers and songs D D G D
And the warmth that those circles would cast D A D D

Music, take me along D Dmaj7 G A
In the circle, sing me your song D Dmaj7 G A
Always moving, around back to me G G A D
The Wonderful people, the Magical music G D G D
The new and known people, Play new songs to me G A - G - D

There are songs of old books that we read when we're young D D G D
And books of old songs we can bring D D A A
Some are from friends that are forever now gone D D G D
We remember them each we sing D A D D

There are songs about hope and the future and stars. D D G D
And Songs about loss and despair D D A A
But the people are more than the songs that they bring D D G D
When I need them I know they'll be there. D A D D

Music, take me along D Dmaj7 G A
In the circle, sing me your song D Dmaj7 G A
Always moving, around back to me G G A D
The Wonderful people, the Magical music G D G D
The new and known people, play new songs to me G A - G - D

Someday when then circle is echoing still D D G D
With laughter and singing so free D D A A
My last chord and verse will have come to an end D D G D
And fade into an old memory D A D D

So here's to the music that brought us all here D D G D
the songs and the people we know D D A A
it lightens my heart from the love that I feel D D G D
Warms me more than you ever could know D A D D

And here's the music that brought us all here D D G D
Here's to the songs that are sung D D A A
The circle now rings round the whole of the earth D D G D
Look what our circle's become. D A D D

Music, take me along D Dmaj7 G A
In the circle, sing me your song D Dmaj7 G A
Always moving, around back to me G G A D
The Wonderful people, the Magical music G D G D
The new and known people, sing a new memory G A - G - D

I'm snagging this to share with people I sing with.

Don't change a word of it; it's wonderful exactly as it is.

Sure, it's up to you...
As long as that doesn't implicitly preclude someone from
using or printing it elsewhere - my goal is to share :)

Because it's TTO I can't post a recording of it anywhere without permission from Bill, I think but I'm
not very legally expert in that either. But it's a fairly well known tune.
