Circling Lyrics - Higher Truth - Chris Cornell

Night falls while drunken angels 

Sleep by the side of the road 

And I'm nodding in a stairwell 

Just trying to stay out of the cold 

Circling around the drain 

Can't find my way back home 

The road is long 

And never ends 

Dark is the heart that wanders 

Light breaks in through the window 

Takes a minute to know where I am 

A dying blackbird 

Gives her soul to the wind 

On the roof of the house 

That I can see from my bed 

Circling around the drain 

Show me the way back home 

The road is long 

It never ends 

Dark is the heart that wanders 

I'd crawl a hundred thousand miles 

Just to see your two eyes look me over 

I'd steal you flowers in the bloodshot light 

Of the lonely hours on a moonless night 

Just like a stray dog in the rain 

I can run all night and get nowhere 

I picture you out underneath the porch light 

Calling my name all night 

And waiting for me 

I thought I heard your voice in the water 

As I walked by a fountain uptown 

Now I'm an orphaned at the door of church 

Just watching the water come down 

Circling around the drain 

Hope that I make it home 

I never felt so far away 

Dark is the heart 

That wanders.
