Moon Dust And Solitude

(앨범: Shuffle And Go - 2020)

On with the suite that I've lived in
Through all of the training
We're bound for the heavens today
That impossible ride

Saying goodbye to the kids
Early on and explaining
Look out on the news for the views
While I'm up in the sky

In my mind
Here confined
Ever primed
In solitude

They're falling away and descending below
To the moon dust
Leaving me here as I circle above
Sixty miles

Left with my thoughts in this universe
Coloured lights flashing
Earth through the window
So beautiful, waits for the news

In my mind
Here confined
Ever primed
In solitude

Crater to crater, light into dark
I am floating
Radio contact my life line
To all that I know

Prayers that I keep, dreams in my sleep
My companions
Log sheets and space they're my ghosts
How I'm here heaven knows

Fear and hope so far away
The earth so blue
Come what may
Fear and hope so far away
The earth so blue

I picture my wife, friends in my life
I am missing
I hear in my head what I could have said
Yesterday

Then mission control breaks the deadlock
Here inside me
They're down on the surface
Stars and stripes upon the moon

Fear and hope so far away
The earth so blue
Come what may
Fear and hope so far away
The earth so blue
