New Math
©Tom Eslick 1996
Two times two in the early morning
Equals four open eyes in bed
I keep testing the space between us
Just as wide as the universe in my head
I can tell by your breathing you're still awake
But the words remain unspoken
I keep trying to bring you back to me
To find a way to mend the hoop that's broken
Cho.
One and one together
Is two part harmony
One and one together
This song's for you and me
One times nothing is nothing, no matter
How many times you try
And the billions of stars above our heads
Are only solitary lights set in the sky
But we have the power to be as one
And in the darkness I call your name
And we find we don't need words to tell ourselves
How to make our light shine again
Cho.
Bridge.
Long ago in Mexico
In the full light of the sun
A Mayan invented the concept of zero
And gave it to all the lonely ones
Cho.
