Turning the World Around

[Verse 1]
Wrestlin' with the shadows of the night
I feel my whole world slippin' through my fists
It's like I've got nothing goin'
And what I know is not worth knowin'
Then the first burst of the yellow morning light
Filters through the tracin' paper mist
And I find myself freewheelin' through my fear
And those old feelings all take flight

[Chorus]
It's like the sun releases
My soul as they fall away
They're broken into pieces
By the toll of the everyday
Love and small ambition
And good hearts run aground
The pull of our condition
Turnin' the world around

[Verse 2]
Turnin' my world over in my head
Memories swimmin' round me chase their tails
A raging ocean brimmin'
With hungry sharks still circlin'
Seven seas all drowning me in dread
Drag me down again and shred my sails
Then she calls to talk and I'm clinging to the rock
Of something simple that she said

[Chorus]
Rain-washed conversation
Born from winter blues
Sprung from situations
Seen from somewhere new
August burned ecstatic
Autumn's comin' down
Tiny twists of magic
Turnin' the world around
