New Round

When the ocean's are dark
The heavens are foreboding
A chain link wind
Is breaking you open
And lessons of day
On the blackboard of night
That seem to be erased
And the beacon has no light
The eyes of confusion
Looking for a stray
And everything they need
Keep the dogs at bay
There's no escape hatch
No submarine
Can take you to the moon
And rake you in the leaves
And keep you just as safe
As you are in my arms
And someday someday
Say bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye

You're 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
Closer you will get
And farther away
You go from where we are
And try to keep him with you
And hold him like a star
That has fallen frozen lake
To a heart to break
And push yourself beyond
The wall that coffins you
When you bring it down
All the false sides
When you make him yours
Don't forget he's yours
Bye-bye
