How many times in an average weekday
Do we really look into another pair of eyes
How many hours in the course of a lifetime
Simply pass unnoticed, like clouds in the sky
Going 'round and 'round and 'round, like bats in a belfry
'Round and 'round and 'round, like a big flock of crows
'Round and 'round and 'round, the unanswerable questions
Circumnavigating like fish in a bowl
How many words are somehow left unspoken
Doors never opened, deeds never dared
Such is the way our hearts can be broken
And no-one remembers we were ever even there
Going 'round and 'round and 'round, like bats in a belfry
'Round and 'round and 'round, like a big flock of crows
'Round and 'round and 'round, the unanswerable questions
Circumnavigating like fish in a bowl
An ocean of love forever unrequited
Hands never taken, lips never kissed
In the gathering dusk the daylight is dwindling
And my conscience is troubled by questions like this
Going 'round and 'round and 'round, like bats in a belfry
'Round and 'round and 'round, like a big flock of crows
'Round and 'round and 'round, the unanswerable questions
Circumnavigating like fish in a bowl
Soft is the rain that falls in my memory
Fresh is the breeze that carries my dream
Where is the home that welcomes my footstep
And where are the ones who matter most to me
Going 'round and 'round and 'round, like bats in a belfry
'Round and 'round and 'round, like a big flock of crows
'Round and 'round and 'round, the unanswerable questions
Circumnavigating like fish in a bowl
