Circling

Night falls while drunken angels Sleep by the side of the road And I'm nodding in a stairwell Just trying to stay out of the cold Circling around the drain Can't find my way back home The road is long And never ends Dark is the heart that wanders Light breaks in through the window Takes a minute to know where I am A dying blackbird Gives her soul to the wind On the roof of the house That I can see from my bed Circling around the drain Show me the way back home The road is long It never ends Dark is the heart that wanders I'd crawl a hundred thousand miles Just to see your two eyes look me over I'd steal you flowers in the bloodshot light Of the lonely hours on a moonless night Just like a stray dog in the rain I can run all night and get nowhere I picture you out underneath the porch light Calling my name all night And waiting for me I thought I heard your voice in the water As I walked by a fountain uptown Now I'm an orphaned at the door of church Just watching the water come down Circling around the drain Hope that I make it home I never felt so far away Dark is the heart That wanders.
