Gyroscope

Vonda Shepard

You live in cool greys 
Hiding in the middle 
You shine right through the haze 
Undoing my riddle 

Straighten me when I'm tilted 

You spin me round and round 
Untwisted this tornado 
When I'm lost I'm really found 
Turn my heart to play-dough 

Straighten me when I'm tilted 
Water me when I'm wilted 

You're my gyroscope 
Levelling out my fear 
Making the blurry clear 
Make the far seem near 
You're my gyroscope 
When I burn to bright 
You try to dim my light 
But I won't let you no, no 

I used to be too shiny 
For your darker shades of black 
But you let my ray of light shine 
Through the armour through the crack 

Straighten me when I'm tilted 
Water me when I'm wilted 

You're my gyroscope 
Levlling out my fear 
Making the blurry clear 
Make the far seemnear 
Hey you're my gyroscope 
When I burn too bright 
You try to dim my light 
But I won't let you no, no, no
