Lyrics

Running in circles to hypnotise the day
Reciting the prayer your mother left
Forever hopeful, forever scarred
Forever seeking resolutions

Running away by accident designed
All horizons accelerate
How small we all look at that distance
Love's not far ahead
Take courage

Mmmm...

Running for cover in the arms of a forest
Coy little promises to mountains
Acutely aware of the contours
Real life suspended
Time hangs

Running a fever, no symptoms to measure
Cursed with the knowledge your father left
Some distant guardian angel
Stands to attention, impassive

Mmmm...

Make light of your burdens
Make sense of your failings
Make me proud
Make certain

Running in circles to hypnotise the day
Reciting the prayer your mother left
Forever hopeful, forever scarred
Forever seeking
