Circle Of Steel chords Gordon Lightfoot Capo III Rows of lights in a circle of steel Where you place your bets on a great big wheel High windows flickerin’ down through the snow A time you know Sights and sounds of the people goin’ ’round Everybody’s in step with the season A child is born to a welfare case Where the rats run around like they own the place The room is chilly the building is old That’s how it goes The doctor’s found on his welfare round And he comes and he leaves on the double Deck The Halls was the song they played In the flat next door where they shout all day She tips her gin bottle back till it’s gone The child is strong A week a day they will take it away For they know about all her bad habits Christmas dawns and the snow lets up And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup She hides her face in her hands for a while Says look here child Your father’s pride was his means to provide And he’s servin’ three years for that reason Rows of lights in a circle of steel Where you place your bets on a great big wheel High windows flickerin’ down through the snow A time you know Sights and sounds of the people goin’ ’round Everybody’s in step with the season Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/

La chanson évoque la vie difficile d’une mère isolée qui élève un enfant dans un environnement précaire. Elle fait le tableau d’un contexte urbain austère, où les lumières et l'animation contrastent avec la réalité de souffrance et d’abandon qui l’entoure. On suit son quotidien marqué par le manque et des habitudes néfastes, alors que les réjouissances de Noël se déroulent autour d’elle. Son regard se pose sur un passé douteux, tandis qu’elle essaie de préserver son enfant de ce cycle difficile, soulignant ainsi la fragilité de l'espoir en dépit des défis. La chanson parle de résilience face à l'adversité tout en capturant les luttes des plus démunis.
