faces in the waters of my mind
people who have left me far behind
friends who showed that they were not true
adrift at sea now, on the big blue
wondering what I should do
and the rain falls down on the waters
casting circles of overlaps
and I watch my life spread out the same
and I feel lost in the gaps
between the circles
between the social graces
the ripples all collide
to distort all the faces
I don't fit in the circles
my moves don't follow the waves
conformity has never fit me
and I don't know who it saves
I tried every sort of circle
played every game I could find
accepted sometimes, rejected sometimes
left here alone in my mind
in my own circle of rhymes
between the circles
between the great escapes
the ripples all dissolve
into vast seascapes
are we getting somewhere
what do you say?
between the circles
is where I play
between the circles
is where I stay
between the circles
here again today
between the circles
I go my way
