When the oceans 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 far astray And everything they needed 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 That 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 it with you And hold him like a starling That has fallen frozen lake To a hollow moon Push yourself beyond The wall they carved for you When you bring it down With all their false eyes When you've made it yours Don't forget it's yours Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye
