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 away?

There's no escape hatch
No submarine
Could take you to the moon
Break you in the waves.

And keep you just the same
All in my eyes
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.

[Spoken:]
What?
Dinner time, yeah.
