Song Lyrics

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

It's hard enough losin' the paper illusion
You've hidden inside
Without the confusion of findin'
You're usin' the crutch of the 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 movin' 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 the time that you spend
'Til 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

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Neil Young
