Ten-Thousand Light-Years

(Album: Starship Velociraptor - 2021)

Wish I had met that girl before
I signed my life away off-world
When I didn't have a reason to be alive

Now she's so far from me, stuck on Alpha Centauri
And I'm out here with a broken hyperdrive
I'm a lost and lonely outlaw sailing on the starry sea
I would sell my sorry soul to bring my baby back to me

10,000 Light-Years away
She's my guiding star
After every hurricane

She's like the sun's shining rays
Even from so far, pulling on my heart
Her gravity remains

If I could turn back time to when
I could hold her hand in mine
I would find some excuse just not to leave

Five years since I've left port
And I'm running low on life support
Yeah but, that's not the reason I can't breathe

It's a lonely night in hell aboard this broken privateer
I would brave a hundred-thousand more to taste her atmosphere

10,000 Light-Years away
She's my guiding star after every hurricane
She's like the sun's shining rays
Even from so far, pulling on my heart
Her gravity remains

10,000 Light-Years away
She's my guiding star after every hurricane
She's like the sun's shining rays
Even from so far, pulling on my heart
Her gravity remains
