From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It’s the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
I epitomise restraint,
But time has tempered my discretion,
I’m bound to betray myself someday,
I’m hittin the road and sayin goodbye,
I’ll never walk backwards,
Let the sun get in my eyes.
Oh, don’t make me laugh,
You’re not fooled by the way I come over,
Don’t make me laugh,
And don’t make me cry,
So long goodbye.
This parted history we share,
Poorly wrapped and hardly mentioned,
I notice a little glint in your eye,
It’s hard to know,
Who’s telling a lie.
You’d never say never,
Wouldn’t see your vanity deprived.
Oh, don’t make me laugh,
You’re not fooled by the way I come over,
Don’t make me laugh,
And don’t make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don’t make me laugh,
There is no other way I could know her,
Don’t make me laugh,
And don’t make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don’t make me laugh,
You’re not fooled by the way I come over,
Don’t make me laugh,
And don’t make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don’t make me laugh,
There is no other way I could know her,
Don’t make me laugh,
And don’t make me cry,
So long,
So long,
So long,
Goodbye
Oh no, why can’t you get along?
Ok I know it’s not my place
I’ve got to say something
I’ve got to say something
I’ve got speak
She’ll never leave
And you can never throw her out
Impossible to conceive
You’d rather be with than without
That’s just the fear talking
That just the fear talking
That’s just the fear
Don’t let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don’t let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Remember the good old days
But love is like a dragonfly
So beautiful, it will die
And disappear before your eyes
I’m no philosopher
I am no poet
I’m just trying to help you out
Don’t let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don’t let it take you
Like it nearly took me
And so you sit and wait
For another man to take your place
And when, when he comes
Would you welcome him with open arms?
You’ll feel a hundred years younger
You’ll feel a hundred years younger
You’ll fee no fear
Don’t let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don’t let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don’t kill you
Like it nearly killed me, fear
I stopped tryin’ to write the things I don’t like
And I started goin’ back to where I’d been before
She said “I don’t blame you I’d do the same”
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won’t get many more
“How We Operate”
Calm down
And get straight
It’s not our eyes (?)
It’s how we operate
You’re true
You are
I’d apologize but it won’t go very far
Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we’ll see what gets left over
A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won’t have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I’ll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way
Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can’t step right over
Without you well I’m left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
‘Cos baby tonight I’ll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way
The way that we’ve been speaking now
I swear that we’d be friends, I swear
‘Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way
