New Round

When the oceans are dark The heavens are foreboding A chain link wind Is breaking you open Lessons of the day On a blackboard night 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 There's no submarine That 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 All because of you When you bring it down All the false sides When you make him yours Don't forget he's yours Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye --- New Round - Beck
