The Ring

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

The surprising gift given by Freud to his followers.


Round your finger

Token of the love we give one another

Music of the future that we'll discover

Promises to keep more than any other

Symbolising all that we share


The ring is magic

The ring is power

Like a candle in the dark for everyone

The ring is madness

The ring is fire

And it burns with all the brightness of the sun


In a circle

Living in a world in perpetual motion

Turning with the tide of the restless ocean

Spinning on the wheel of your own emotion

Riding on a wild carousel

You'll be turning round and round

Round and round we go


Promises, promises, promises, promises


Round your finger

After all the years that we've been together

Walking in the sun and stormy weather

Sharing in a moment to last forever

Memories and dreams without end


The ring is magic

The ring is power

And it finds you in the darkness of the night

The ring is madness

The ring is fire

And it guides you when you're blinded by the light


The ring is magic

The ring is power

Like a candle in the dark for everyone

The ring is madness

The ring is fire

And it burns with all the brightness of the sun


The ring is magic, magic, fire, fire

The ring is mine
