...
I've never seen so many circles
Like I've seen here in this room
The clock hands, they make circles
But time just doesn't move
...
One sad man with a chart in his hand
He circles a miss's name
If I could do just about anything
It would be to take his pain
...
He said "I want her, I need her
But all I can see are these circles"
...
A silhouette walks into that room
With half a circle on a stick
He wears nothing but his shadow
And no one even notices
...
Sits down by the man and offers his hand
Says I'm the one you want to see
In spite of the things I'm sure you have heard
I just came to set her free
He said I'll take her I'll save her
And you will forget all these circles
...
The sad men wept in the palm of both his hands
He was swimming in the questions he just had to ask
Like where were you when we were in the thick of it
How could I believe you weren't at the root of it all
How could you
The silhouette smiled underneath the crooked hood
Tilted back his head and let out a laugh
Said son, you should know all the things that I would give her
So let her come with me to my home down on the river
And face it, embrace it
'Cause happiness comes in a circle
...
A beautiful woman walks into that room
With a yellow circle on her head
She walks out the door with a shadow
And no one even notices
