John Mellencamp - Circling Around The Moon lyrics

Written by: John Mellencamp and George Green

There may come a day when you grow weary

Troubled waters stain the paper cup

From other venues, other voices carry

Spilled dreams soaking into thirsty dust

Maybe then and there you'll find another

Lover with a blank and empty heart

Filled with breath and old sails to discover

Strength to push the seas apart

On the day we met

I began to want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

Both of us circling round the moon

There may come a day when you feel anger

China cracked and glued by clumsy hands

Veins of memory touching only hunger

The heart devours what it cannot understand

On the day we met

I began to want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

Both of us circling round the moon

Maybe it was then I saw my future

Saw it as a shadow on the ground

Beneath the earth old nails to discover

Strength to hold my body down

On the day we met

I began to want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

On the day we met

I began to want you, want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

The both or us circling round the moon

Both of us circling round the moon
