The Roundabout

My love, let's never talk about
The thing we know will tear us up
Let's leave this one behind
Bury it deep and never pine

The shadows on the roundabout
Will leave you with a bitter thought
The gloom beneath the trees
Will keep you miles away from me

Let's find a path that's far enough
Straight ahead and not that rough
No need to ever stray a quiet, peaceful way

But who am I to wear this ring
We want too much of everything
We'll take whatever comes
Whatever painful end it brings

You and I will always be this way
Together and apart we'll stay
Love is loneliness
Even the best will find this true

So come and kiss me 'neath the moon
No matter how the seasons turn
The winter months are cold
And who can know what's worth the try

Walk into the roundabout come out, come out
From the fog and haze
