Circles - Manfred Mann's Earth Band


[Verse 1]

Goin' round in

 circles

Directions all

 messed up

I go to ground

 on a bottle o

f wine

Drown myself i

n the flood

My frozen toes

 are beginnin'

 to melt

I believe I'm 

catchin' a col

d

Got oil on my 

feathers and I

 can't fly
             
I gotta get ba

              
ck to your lov

[Verse 2]

I'm a clown wi

thout a circus

There's no one

 to see my act

I can laugh an

d sing and sta

nd on my head

Nobody knows w

here I'm at

It's hard to b

e convincin'

When these blu

es don't give 

an inch

I ain't exactl

y losin'
             
But I'm beginn

              
ing to feel th

          
e pinch

My days are lo

ng and lonely

And I feel so 

insecure

There ain't no

thin' funny I'

m losing you, 

honey

anymore, I can
