Circling - Chris Cornell

Night falls while drunken angels

Sleep by the side of the road

And I’m nodding in a stairwell

Just trying to stay out of the cold

Circling around the drain

Can’t find my way back to home

The road is long

And never ends

Dark is the heart that wanders

Light breaks in through the window

Takes a minute to know where I am

A dying blackbird

Gives her soul to the wind

On the roof of the house

That I can see from the bed

Circling around the drain

Show me the way back home

The road is long

It never ends

Dark is the heart that wanders

I’d crawl a hundred thousand miles

Just to see your two eyes look me over

I’d steal you flowers in the bloodshot light

Of the lonely hours on a moonless night

Just like a stray dog in the rain

I can run all night and get nowhere

I picture you out underneath the porch light

Calling my name all night

And waiting for me

I thought I heard your voice in the water

As I walked by a fountain uptown

Now I’m an orphaned at the door of church

Just watching the water come down

Circling around the drain

Hope that I make it home

I never felt so far away

Dark is the heart

That wanders.
