Lyrics Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

Circles and X's

In the doorway soaking wet

It's raining cats and dogs

There's nothing for us to regret

The fire needs more logs

You manage 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 will bring a change

Some things will stay the same

Circles and X's by your name

Nothing left to be sorry for

But I still sit and sob

When I see you walk across the floor

And put your hand around the doorknob

You head down the drive and hope

The Chevy decides to start

I'm just at the end of my rope

And you're just tugging at my heart

You turn around to wave goodbye

You look at me and linger

The morning hears you sigh

And sunlight reflects off the silver on your finger

Circles and X's by your name

Day after day will bring a change

Some things will stay the same

Circles and X's by your name

Circles and X's by your name

Day after day will bring a change

Some things will stay the same

Circles and X's by your name

Some things will stay the same

Circles and X's by your name
