The Circle Is Small
Gordon Lightfoot

It's alright for some, but not alright for me

When the one that I'm lovin' slips around

You think it's fine to do things I cannot see

And you're doin' it to me, baby can't you see that I know how it is

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips

I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this

I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die

I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes

It's alright for some, but not alright to be

Where the one that I'm lovin' can't be found

The city where we live might be quite large

But the circle is small, why not tell us all and then all of us will know

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips

I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this

I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die

I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes

It's alright to leave, but not alright to lie

When you come home and you can't say where you've been

You think it's fine to do things I cannot see

And you're doin' it to me, baby can't you see that I know how it is

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips

I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this

I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die

I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips

I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this

I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die
