lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was peering out my window
Through my eyes I saw reflection framed
Through my ears I heard an echo
In my mind I tried to hide my pain
Then I heard an old man talking
Everyone is born to die he said
Take another birth tomorrow
Done and dust, but I am never dead

[Chorus]
Round and round and round in circle
Up and down and to and fro all go

[Verse 2]
Fired my quest for deeper wisdom
Contradiction dare to question ask
Hope uncover hidden meaning
From my armchair getting nowhere fast
You're eternal soul with body
Said this flesh is just an outer dress
Get a handle on my problem
More I know my certainty gets less

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
In my hunt for buried treasure
In and out and high and low tide flows
On my sofa isolated
Really thought by now that I would know
But my need for cosy answers
Feeds my self-deception knows no bounds
Hold out for a revelation
Keeping faith is round my corner found

[Repeat Chorus x2]
