Circle Of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot
    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
