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