Verse
C D# A#
So they rode the sea, it went on and on

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