Circle Dance

The circle goes round and round

The ranting, raving and shouting sounds

Then the honeymoon all over again

With the "sorry"s and "I'll not do it again"

The ranting, raving and shouting sounds

That raise the fears tucked in the back

With the "sorry"s and "I'll not do it again"

Then the lull of normal routine steps in

And raises the fears tucked in the back

Knowing it is only a matter of time

Then the lull of normal routine steps in

Lying to us all, and we believe

Knowing is it only a matter of time

Until we're again at the top of the circle

Lying to us all, and we believe

Hoping the lie will be the truth this time

Until we're again at the top of the circle

Then the honeymoon all over again

Hoping the lie will be the truth this time

The circle goes round and round
