Lyrics

A scientist sits in a tower, a bright domed tower
With her head in her hands
The lines on a screen, they are rising
A mountain, a cliff-face
It's the steepest that she's ever seen
Her husband, he turns from the morning
Drowsy sleeper, she'll delight from his eyes
And the sun on his back, it is warming
Each year warmer, drowsy sleeper
She turns the lines on a screen into circles
Circles to bars in a chart just to try
And find a way past
Turns the circles to crosses
Crosses to dots and she stares
Tries to find hope there
Find hope there
Her voice has grown thin from the telling
Showing, explaining
Warnings melting away
But her desk is a cradle of photos
Don't give up now
Can't give up now
She turns the lines on a screen into circles
Circles to bars in a chart just to try
And find a way past
Turns the circles to crosses
Crosses to dots and she stares
Tries to find hope there
Have we come to this?
Her son in the playground is building
Little castles, moulded buckets and sand
The wind blows a turret a-tumbling
He's reshaping, tiny sculptor
He's rebuilding
As they fall
They fall
As they fall
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
She turns the lines on a screen into circles
Circles to bars in a chart just to try
And find a way past
Turns the circles to crosses
Crosses to dots and she stares
Tries to find hope there
She turns the lines on a screen into circles (find, hope, there)
Circles to bars in a chart just to try (bars, chart, try)
And find a way past (way, past)
Turns the circles to crosses (past, crosses)
Crosses to dots and she stares (crosses, dots)
Tries to find hope there (tries, find)
(Hope there, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
