Ring around the moon, he stepped outside
A gentle breath sounded the chimes
And the emptiness that filled the sky
Gave perspective to the emptiness inside
And he thought he'd face the challenge of it all
Withstanding every storm and never fall
And soon, but not today
He'd feel the ice melt away
Wondering where and when he'd finally get some sleep
Resentful of movies and of sports
Following a script and following a course
The conflict helps to move them along
Not to bury those who suffer on
And he thought he'd face the challenge of it all
Withstanding every storm and never fall
And soon, but not today
He'd feel the ice melt away
Wondering where and when he'd finally get some sleep
Aimed between the lines in the parking lot
His restless wheels rolled to a stop
With touches on the radio
He fell into a song romantic and low
And he dreamed that he was living every word
And every lilting note was meant for him
And for the first in many days
He felt the ice melt away
And there and then he finally got some sleep
