Before the World Was Round

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.
