Circle Dance

i don't know why it should be so hard

giving up this circle dance

worn out steps from long ago

don't give love a chance



it's a bitter heirloom handed down

these twisted parts we play

i'm not her and you're not him

it just comes out that way



can't go back to make things right

though i wish i understood

time has made things clearer now

we did the best we could



i'll be home soon, that's what you'd say

and a little kid believes

after a while i learned that love

must be a thing that leaves



i tried so hard just to hold you near

was as good as i could be

even when i had you here

you stayed so far from me



can't go back to make things right

though i wish i understood

time has made things clearer noe

you did the best you could



now that this has occured to me

i just want you to know

i've been too faithful all my life

it's time to let you go
