Before the World Was Round - Clifford T. Ward

I remember when

You said the world must be flat

Because you’d fallen off the edge

There you were just floatin'

Holdin' on to my hand

So safe and self-assured

An' it’s not easy

Watchin' you walk out on me An' simple dreams from way back when

The view was so much better then

Before the world was round.

An' I remember when

You said there must be a God

Because he answered you

And so I found you floatin'

Reachin' out for my love

And how I sheltered you

An' it’s not easy

Watchin' you just walk away

From hopes that seem more tangible

An' dreams were far more plentiful

Before the world was round.

You have learnt your independence

All too soon your science grew

An' you’ve turned your fine attendance

On to someone new.

INSTRUMENTAL

An' it’s not easy

Watchin' you walk out on me An' simple dreams from way back when

The view was so much better then

Before the world was round.
