lyrics

spinnin’ out
A hurting time, spinning out, like
an antelope on a frozen lake,
falling, falling, falling
and hoping that the ice won’t break

Our day undone in ice and sun
and a winter from the gates of hell
when it’s melting
finally Spring
I’m sinking into this shell

I want to drown in your embrace
but the sound of our anger
hits me right in the face

oh, listen to that cold wind blow
who’d go out on a night like this
everything covered with snow
and a goodbye that’s been sealed with a kiss

and even though I love you very much
somehow we’ve forgotten how to touch
and, oh no, I feel like we’re spinning out

A cutting sound, cutting down, like
a logger way up in the hills
and this old tree has fallen down
to the sorrow of the whipperwills

oh can’t you see, inside that tree
ring upon ring, you and me
all we could be and every song I sing?

And the tenderness flows like a river of light
down the side of the mountain
and into the night

You can feel that motion inside of your soul
I’m off of the ice now
and back in control

but even though I love you very much
somehow we’ve forgotten how to touch
and, oh no, I feel like we’re spinnin’ out
