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 floating

Holding on to my hand

So safe and self assured

It's not easy

Watching you walk out on me

Simple dreams from way back when

The view was so much better then

Before the world was round

I remember when

You said there must be a god

Because he answered you

And so I found you floating

Reaching out for my love

And how I sheltered you

It's not easy

Watching you just walk away

From hopes that seem more tangible

Dreams were far more plentiful

Before the world was round

You have learnt your independence

All too soon your science grew

You've turned your fine attendance

On to someone new

It's not easy

Watching you walk out on me

Simple dreams from way back when

The view was so much better then

Before the world was round
