Artist: Captain Zanzibar
Song: Circles in a Small Town
Lyrics:
I drive by the same window every night
when the kids are asleep and I’ve lied to my wife.
The girl in the room is now a woman I do not know.
Chimneys fill this town with so many ghosts.
Memory’s the door I can’t keep closed.
Why does only the past grow?
I’m growing old . . .
It’s not cheating to remember the kingdom of the wish.
When we were young and I could say your name
with just a kiss.
Grown men dream in secret, I guess that’s the way it is.
Memory’s the door I can’t keep closed.
Why does only the past grow?
I’m growing old . . .
Driving around this same old town I can’t go home.
There’s no song to save me,
I’m too far away for the radio.
Memory’s the door I can’t keep closed.
Why does only the past grow?
Only the past has grown.
I’m growing old,
I’m growing so old.
Time, Time, Time . . .
Grown men dream in secret I guess,
then we turn to stone.
