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.
