He said, go round the back way   He said, avoid the road more traveled   He said, hold tight onto your smile   When it's dark out & you, so fragile   You won't see the ground,   But it will rise beneath   You are steady on your feet   Until it hits you in the teeth      You will know it when you've gone too far,   Your sight grows in & narrow   You cannot see the stars above you   They love you in their far away way   They ask you sincerely to stay, hey, stay      She said, look up once in a while   She said, remember things there always remain   Blossoms in the spring   Birds remember to sing   And you will do the same      You will know it when you've gone too far,   Your sight grows in & narrow   You cannot see the stars above you   They love you in their far away way   They ask you sincerely to stay, hey, stay      Buildings hurdle by the train as you ride   You don't know where & you don't know why   All you can do is dry your eyes   Cry like a little child   Sometimes it takes a while   To be born      You will know it when you've gone too far,   Your sight grows in & narrow   You cannot see the stars above you   They love you in their far away way   They ask you sincerely to stay, hey, stay
