Over The Rhine - Circle Of Quiet lyrics

rate me

words: Detweiler and Hordinski

music: Hordinski

recordings: Amateur Shortwave Radio, Patience

Maybe you can tell my why i'm prone to wander

i'm like a gypsy to the bone

every time i hear the rain amid the thunder

i want to run outside and shed my clothes

but i want to stay with you

long enough to love you right

and i want to say to you

i love the patience in your eyes

here i am standing in a circle of quiet

where a truce is tactily observed

standing in a circle of quiet

waiting for the world to turn

waiting for the world to turn

waiting for the world to turn

and a hundred days and night could find me scattered

all around the world without a name

but you're more than just a feather in my hat

more than just a fetter on my frame

when I look up in the sky at night

i want to go out and chase the stars

but like the catcher in the rye

i want to stay where you are

there is no shadow of turning with thee

there is no shadow of turning
