[Verse] 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
