Pearl Jam - Around The Bend Lyrics






i'm wishing you a-well
mind at peace within your cell
covers up, i cast you off
i'll be watching as you breathe
i lie still, you move
i send you off around the bend
i hold your head deep in my arms
my fingertips they close your eyes
off you dream, my little child
there's a sun around the bend (yes)
there's a sun around the bend
all the evenings close like this
all these moments that i've missed
please forgive me, won't you, dear?
please forgive and let me share...
with you around the bend
you're an angel when you sleep
how i want your soul to keep
on and on around the bend

    Lyrics

    I am wishing
    You a well
    Mind at peace
    Within your cell
    Covers up,
    I cast you off
    I'll be watching
    As you breathe
    I lie still,
    You move,
    I send
    You,... off
    Around the bend

    I hold your head
    Deep in my arms
    My fingertips they
    Close your eyes

    Off you dream,
    My little child
    There's a sun
    Around the bend
    There's a sun
    Around the bend

    All the evenings
    Close like this
    All these moments
    That I've missed
    Please forgive me,
    Won't you,
    Dear?
    Please forgive and
    Let me share...
    With... you...
    Around the bend

    You're an angel
    When you sleep
    How I want your
    Soul to keep
    On and on
    Around the bend

    Probably one of my favs. What a peaceful feel. Just kick back and have a few brews, smoke a spliff and look at a nice sunset to this song/. Life becomes worth living again.

  6. A.... N....

    I had a friend suicide around this time. Ths song always reminds me of him. I hope he found peace.

  7. C.... E....

    When I listen to this song I always think of all the innocent or unjust people who are incarcerated for life for simple non-violent marijuana crimes

  8. E.... W....

    Thanks poppa, I’ll never get through this one without tears...

  9. b.... f....

    This song remembers me just old league of legends when me and my friends playing for fun than ranked games ruins everything

  10. C.... J....

    Perfect.

  11. K.... M....

    finally made descision 2 end relationship w/ ex gf yrs ago. no explanation necessary simply told her I was heading 1 way while she was going in another direction... brought solace & was able 2 part ways on positive note- perhaps wed meet somewhere around the bend... never happened & I personally think this was best 4 both of us

  12. A.... D....

    "How I want your soul to keep" such haunting lyrics for a lullaby...sounds like a song about an obsessed person

    A.... D....

    its from a common children's prayer "now i lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep...."

    A.... D....

    Chris Levandofsky due. With all due respect. And no, he did not miss the point, it's haunting.

    A.... D....

    Saca Rolhas thank you!!!

    A.... D....

    Chris Levandofsky no I didn't, the last the line is literally about someone watching someone else sleep and wanting their soul to keep

    A.... D....

    maybe read the following sentence?... to keep on going, he is saying he wishes the child would live forever, avoid danger around the bend, etc.

  13. M.... V....

    eu não conhecia esse disco... e não gostei... depressivo demais... So sad.

  14. D.... ....

    So many years that I heard this album...
    And it´s like just yesterday! I can remember every single chord and note... this feeling; this sound!

  15. j.... s....

    Does anyone else get a Christmas-y vibe from the initial guitar?

  16. A.... A....

    omg :'(
    amazing song
    PEARL JAM my favorite band ever

  17. D.... S....

    Such an underrated Pearl Jam song. This was always my favorite track from the "No Code" album.

    D.... S....

    'Smile' for me!

  18. S.... G....

    Thanks for posting all the tracks to this album with the lyrics. I don't believe the CD came with lyrics.. we had 5 of them floating around lol everyone had a copy plus an extra because we thought we lost it.  Tons of memories listing to this CD on repeat :D 

  19. O.... ....

    'Around the Bend' was written by Eddie Vedder as a lullaby that Jack Irons could sing to his son.

    O.... ....

    +Olivavu Eddie also said that the song could go the other way, it could be something that a serial killer is saying to his victim LOL

    O.... ....

    EddieVedderForEVer Sometimes Dad works late, only gets to see his kids when their already asleep

  20. s.... ....

    It's a lullaby

  21. m.... ....

    No code is such an amazing album from start to finish. Each track changes in mood and feeling. This song is a nice and serene , the perfect way to end the album.
