Verse
D# F# C#
So they rode the sea, it went on and on
F# C#
They were years away, though it seemed so long
F# C#
But the captain never told them what he knew
F# C#
As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue
G# C#
[Verse 2]
F# C#
Oh, the storm was strong and the ship was so frail
F# C#
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
F# C#
And they held the heavy sky on their open hands
F# C#
And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land
G# C#
[Refrain]
F# C#
Mabey we're going 'round in circles
F# C#
Where is this place we're going to?
F# C#
Does anybody know we're out here on the waves?
F# C#
And are any of our signals coming through?
G# C#
F# C#
We're going 'round in circles
F# C#
We have no single point of view
F# C#
And like the clouds that turn to every passing wind
F# C#
We turn to any signal that comes through
G# C#
[Verse 3]
F# C#
At the edge of the sea were the signs of the dove
F# C#
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
F# C#
We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door
F# C#
No, we won't be needing reasons anymore
G# D
