Lucinda Williams
Circles And X’s
In the doorway soaking wet
It's raining cats and dogs
There's nothing for us to repair
The fire needs more logs
You managed to crack a smile
The sky is big and open
You stay for just a little while
The vows have all been broken

Circles and x's by your name
Day after day, a blank change
Some things stay the same
Circles and x's by your name

Nothing left to be sorry for
But I still stand aside
I see you walk across the floor
Put your hand around the doorknob
Your head down, the drunken part
The Chevy decides to start
Understand the end of my rope
Is tugging in my heart
You turn around to wave goodbye
You look at me and linger
The morning hears a sigh
As sunlight reflects off the silver of your finger
Circles and x's by your name
Day after day, a blank change
Some things stay the same
Circles and x's by your name

Circles and x's by your name
Day after day, a blank change
Some things stay the same
Circles and x's by your name
Some things stay the same
Circles and x's by your name
