Golden Circle

Too beat to meet the man today

Mama, I just wanna lay here for a while

The wine turned bittersweet today

Baby, tell me who's the light behind your smile

Well, now the circle wheel has turned

And things for which I've yearned

Just vanished like a dream in air

With all the lessons that I've learned

I still got badly burned

Retreated to a vacant stare

Well, at the very least I find no conflict there

After you've done all you can

Girl, without your guiding hand

I know that I would have to stand

Outside the golden circle of your love

And now the circle wheel has turned

And things for which I've yearned

Vanished like a dream in air

With all the lessons that I've learned

I still got badly burned

Retreated to a vacant stare

'Cause at the very least I find no conflict there

After you've done all you can

But girl, without your guiding hand

I know that I would have to stand

Outside the golden circle of your love
