The Year Turns Round Again

Hi all- I heard this song in some clips from the play (not the movie) War Horse, and fell in love. From what I can tell, it was written and performed by Jon Tams. I haven't listened much to other songs from the soundtrack yet, because I can't move on from this one, but maybe soon I'll fall in love with the others too. We'll see!

I'll wager a hat-full of guineas
against all the songs you can sing,
that some day you'll love
and the next day you'll lose
and winter will turn into spring
and the snow falls, the wind calls
the year turns round again
and like Barleycorn who rose from the grave
a new year will rise up again
There will come a time of great plenty
a time of good harvest and sun
til then put your trust in tomorrow my friend
for yesterday's over and done
Ploughed, sown, reaped, and mown
the year turns round again
and like Barleycorn who rose from the grave
a new year will rise up again
Phoebe arise, a gleam in her eyes
and the year turns round again
and like Barleycorn who rose from the grave
a new year will rise up again
