Lyrics
Well it feels like a circle and it looks like wheel
and it ploughs a straight furrow with edges of steel
and it feels like a question to the enquiring mind
and it reads like a riddle but its nothing of the kind
Ch: The breath of the five o'clock angel
soft and very, very light
The breath of the five o'clock angel
steals away like thief in the night
It glows with a phosphor and it sings in the dark
tells me some stories never leaves a mark
and it feels like a question to the enquiring mind
and it reads like a riddle but its nothing of the kind
And all that night the rain fell and sounded in my dreams
moving in circles, edges of steel
and it feels like a question to the enquiring mind
and it reads like a riddle but its nothing of the kind
sometimes you get to write the song of your life
sometimes the song writes you
sometimes you star in the story of your life
sometimes it even comes true
