New Round

When the oceans are dark

The heavens are foreboding

A chain link wind

Is breaking you open

And lessons of the day

On a blackboard night

It seem to be erased

And the beacon has a light

The eyes of confusion

Looking for a string

Everything they need

To keep the dogs at bay

There's no escape hatch

No submarine

Could take you to the moon

rake you in the leaves

And keep you just the same

All in my arms

Some day, some day

Say bye bye bye bye

Bye, bye, bye

*

I'm 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 would get

The farther away

You go from where we went

I'll try to keep with you

Hold you like a star

Found the frozen bank

To a hollow tune

Pushes up beyond

And all they come from home

When you bring them down

All they fall aside

On the radios

Don't forget it's yours

Bye, bye, bye
