Make my love like a river
I said thinking it would be
Covering the in-between
And joining you to me
See I knew that you would wander
And I thought you could be free
I guess I thought that this is what you wanted
But I won't love like this again
Because it wears the heart too thin
So make my love like a circle
No beginning and no end
Give me love like a circle
And I'll be happy then
Make my love like an ocean
I said deep as deep can be
My might of heart enfolding you
Your heart defining me
Is there anything so awesome as the fury of the sea?
The violence was beauty for a moment
But I won't love like this again
That changes with the southern wind
So make my love like a circle
Ground on which I can depend
Give me love like a circle
And I'll be happy then
I seem to live in straight lines
My life is made of straight lines
Always before or behind
I can't escape the straight line
So make my love like a circle oh
And teach my heart to bend
Give me love like a circle
And I'll be happy then
