Round and round and round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in

It won't be long, it won't be long

How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows
Bm

It won't be long, it won't be long

It's hard enough losing the paper allusion you've hidden inside

Without the confusion of finding you're using the crutch of a lie

To shelter your pride, when you cry
Round and round and round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long, it won't be long Now you're moving too slow and wherever you go There's another besides It's so hard to say no to yourself and it shows That you're losing inside When you step on your pride, and you cry Round and round and round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long, it won't be long How the hours will bend through time that you spend Till you turn to your eyes And you see your best friend looking over the end And you turn to see why And he looks in your eyes, and he cries Round and round and round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long, it won't be long

Hello ruby in the dust Has your band begun to rust? After all the sin we've had I was hopin' that we'd turn back Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same? It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Hello woman of my dreams This is not the way it seems Purple words on a grey background To be a woman and to be turned down Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same? It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
