Like A Circle

Make my love like a river
I said thinking it would be
Covering the in-between
And joining you to me

See I knew that you would wander
And I thought you could be free
I guess I thought that this is what you wanted

But I won't love like this again
Because it wears the heart too thin

So make my love like a circle
No beginning and no end
Give me love like a circle
And I'll be happy then

Make my love like an ocean
I said deep as deep can be
My might of heart enfolding you
Your heart defining me

Is there anything so awesome
As the fury of the sea?
The violence was beauty for a moment

But I won't love like this again
That changes with the southern wind

So make my love like a circle
Ground on which I can depend
Give me love like a circle
And I'll be happy then

I seem to live in straight lines
My life is made of straight lines
Always before or behind
I can't escape the straight lines

So make my love like a circle, oh
And teach my heart to bend
Give me love like a circle
And I'll be happy then
