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 lines 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
