Natalie Merchant writes some good stuff...
I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round.
And in that circle I had made were all the worlds unformed and unborn yet.
A volume, a sphere that was the earth, that was the moon,
That did revolve around my room.
I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round.
And in that circle was a maze, a terrible spiral to be lost in.
Blind in my fear, I was escaping just by feel.
But at every turn my way was sealed.
I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round.
And in that circle was a face.
Her eyes looked upon me with fondness.
Her warmth coming near, calling me sweetness, calling me dear.
But I whispered, no, I cant rest here.
I dreamed of a circle, I dreamed of a circle round.

I see the leaves of autumn
Changing, falling , turning what was green
I see a door standing open,
Open to curiosity
We could be together
Tear it all apart
Would you ever notice
What was hidden in my heart
Heartstrong
Do we ever listen
Closely as willows start to weep
There as we stood upon the threshold
Who said forever was for keeps?
Would you ever notice what
Was hidden in my heart,
My deep heart is reeling forward
And steady on to keep,
Who made me miss the last ferry?
Who made this river so deep?

La la la, la la la, la la la la, the sky was falling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, heaven was calling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, when danger crashes
La la la, la la la, la la la la, rose from the ashes
Like two statues hidden inside ancient rock
We were praying for the secrets to unlock
And when the sun had turned its back on us, oooh
In the dark, our love kept track of us, oooh
Pushed together by the lack of love, oooh oooh, run, run, run, run, run
La la la, la la la, la la la la, the sky was falling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, heaven was calling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, when danger crashes
La la la, la la la, la la la la, rose from the ashes
We held each other tightly through our hell of dreams
I still hear the never-endig echo of those screams
But its a life not made for reliving, its
A life that makes your soul forgiving, we
Sealed our bond from the beginning, oooh oooh, run, run, run, run, run
Aching, affection
Vulnerable protection
Falling, captured
Crawling, rapture
La la la, la la la, la la la la, the sky was falling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, heaven was calling
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la, way
La, la

Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Trouble me on the days when you feel spent.
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me.
Speak to me, dont mislead me, the calm I feel means a storm is swelling;
Theres no telling where it starts or how it ends.
Speak to me, why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me when your silence is my greatest fear?
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Speak to me.
Let me have a look inside these eyes while Im learning.
Please dont hide them just because of tears.
Let me send you off to sleep with a there, there, now stop your turning and tossing.
Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.
Spare me? dont spare me anything troubling.
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Speak to me and let our words build a shelter from the storm.
Lastly, let me know what I can mend.
Theres more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you can see.
Trust is what Im offering if you trouble me.
