round the bend

You can almost hear Johnny Cash sing: “I hear that train a-comin’, it’s rolling ’round the bend, and they ain’t seen the World Series since I don’t know when.”

When it reaches the right side of the track, you see it round the bend and then start moving right to left.

"I was going well round the bend, but tightened up and lost my footing a bit and it was downhill from there."

"I feel confused because I felt fine coming in, but when I was going round the bend my legs just stopped corresponding with me," Asher-Smith told BBC Sport.

If we don’t hear much — and we probably won’t — it sure seems like our politics is going terminally round the bend down a dangerous road.
