There may come a day when you grow weary

Troubled waters stain the paper cup

From other venues, other voices carry

Spilled dreams soaking into thirsty dust



Maybe then and there you'll find another

Lover with a blank and empty heart

Filled with breath and old sails to discover

Strength to push the seas apart



On the day we met

I began to want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

Both of us circling round the moon



There may come a day when you feel anger

China cracked and glued by clumsy hands

Veins of memory touching only hunger

the heart devours what it cannot understand



On the day we met

I began to want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

Both of us circling round the moon



Maybe it was then I saw my future

Saw it as a shadow on the ground

Beneath the earth old nails to discover

Strength to hold my body down



On the day we met

I began to want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon



On the day we met

I began to want you, want you

On the day we met

I began to lose you too

Both of us circling round the moon

the both or us circling round the moon

both of us circling round the moon
