on turning round and round,
getting faster all the time
I've never been, I hold so dear,
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I didn't see this coming,
I couldn't see the wood for all the trees
But now despite it for us all, it's burning,
and still the world keeps turning
and still it keeps on burning
I'm never meant to hurt you though,
never meant to cause you pain
I know I try to change my ways,
it's happening again, again, again
I'm burning up with envy,
I'm never meant to cause distress,
or a life to take this course
and still the world keeps turning
and still it keeps on burning
Red sky tonight and still,
Red sky tonight and still,
Tell me why, why have you forsaken me?
Tell me why you put me to this test?
Tell me now, for what have
Tell me where is the love
Standing amongst these embers,
I'm staring at this photograph,
your eyes so cold, so crystal blue
Some days you're like a mountain stream
So fresh, so clear, so true
But others like the great North Sea
You're wild, you're wild,
and still the world keeps on turning
and still it keeps on burning
and still it keeps on turning
Let's try tonight and see if it keeps on burning,
Let's try tonight and see
