Circle in the Dirt

Beneath the Sun and the burning sky The higher you go the further you'll fly Turning away with your private smile Seemed you could see for a thousand miles And while the World falls down around you You shroud yourself in clouds of smoke You drink a toast to those beside you But your amity is like a private joke Chorus: You mark a circle in the dirt Like you were tied to a tree The same movie plays over again With different actors in the scene You thought you'd made a break From the things that weigh you down But if you dam a river The water finds a way around. Now you've got your own gravity Your orbit fills up the room We join you in your vanity And sing with you out of tune Chorus Circle in the dirt ©2004 Declan Murray / Amith Narayan
