Circling

Circling - Chris Cornell

Night falls while drunken angels

Sleep by the side of the road

Now 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'll crawl a hundred thousand miles

Just to see your two eyes look me over

I'd steal you flowers in the bloodshot light

Of lonely hours of a moonless night

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 don't often let the door of a church

Just watching the water calm down

Circling

Around the drain

Hope that I make it home

I've never felt

So far away

Dark is the heart

That wanders
