Too Grand a Scale

I've been thinkin' on too grand a scale Countin' myself the hero of every unwritten tale Dreamed so big, thought I would never fail But I was just a captain, maddenin' while I chase the whale But what if I quit What if I tore it all down just to Start over again, with you What if we left Burned every bridge we found on the way What if we stopped Just to start anew again Went all in an nearly lost my way Couldn't tell the word of a friend From the hissin' of a snake Mistook the gleam for the light of day and now I got debts that I never intend to pay What if I fold Cash in my chips and start heading' your way So I can risk It all again on you What if we roll The dice and play one more game So I can bet my future again on you Well let the fates fall where they will I'm done pushin' their rocks up this hill And when you feel lost just stand perfectly still You'll see the spinnin's all a part of the thrill
