New Round

When the oceans are dark The heavens are foreboding The chainlink wind is breaking you open And the lessons of the day On the blackboard of night Seem to be erased And the beacon has no light And the eyes of confusion Are looking far astray From everything you needed To keep the dogs at bay There's no escape hatch No submarine That could take you to the moon Rake you in the leaves And keep you just as safe As you are in my hands That someday, someday say bye bye Bye and bye and bye and bye Smaller than a stone Bigger than a road Farther than an ocean Closer than a soul Every little word And every little step Every new direction The closer you will get And farther away You'll go from where we are And try to keep it with you And hold it like starling From a frozen lake To a hollow moon Push yourself beyond The wall they carved for you And when you bring it down With all their false eyes When you've made it yours Don't forget its yours Bye and bye and bye and bye
