Circle Dance Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I don't know why it should be so hard

2 Giving up this circle dance

3 Worn out steps from long ago

4 Don't give love a chance

5 It's a bitter heirloom handed down

6 These twisted parts we play

7 I'm not her and you're not him

8 It just comes out that way

9 Can't go back to make things right

10 Though I wish I understood

11 Time has made things clearer now

12 We did the best we could

13 I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say

14 And a little kid believes

15 After a while I learned that love

16 Must be a thing that leaves

17 I tried so hard just to hold you near

18 Was as good as I could be

19 Even when I had you here

20 You stayed so far from me

21 Can't go back to make things right

22 Though I wish I understood

23 Time has made things clearer noe

24 You did the best you could

25 Now that this has occured to me

26 I just want you to know

27 I've been too faithful all my life

28 It's time to let you go
