Circling

Night falls while drunken angels
Sleep by the side of the road
And I'm nodding in the 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 his 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 and 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 of the bloodless night
Yeah, 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 and now you’re waiting for me
I thought I heard your voice in the water
As I walked by a fountain uptown
Now I'm orphaned at the door of a church
Just watching the water come down
Circling around the drain
Hope that I make it home
I’ve never felt so far away
Dark is the heart that wanders
