lyrics

We’ve been circling round,
Losing all we’ve found,
Time is all your own when you’re alone.

To suffer my state,
That unrelenting ache,
Which of us is not so proud to break, and speak?

Where I begin,
My oldest sin,
Yet still I’ve done this all again.

Silence my voice,
As if this was my choice,
Wander on, I’ll soon be gone.

Turn back my head,
See if you’re still there,
As if I would be able now to speak, and share,

Stripped down and bare,
I’ll sing you my nightmare,
Of the one who showed me how to care.

You’ll move along,
I’ll sing my song,
This play I’ve known so well, so long.

In silence deep,
I’ll feign my sleep,
But this lonesome dance has woken me.

Stifled and still,
Watching until,
Slipping away, I know you will.
