A Fadin' Blue

(album: The New Black And White, Pt. V - 2022)

Big Yellow in black
That big Ol' moon shines every night
And I'll fly, so close to it, so high
Build a rocket ship on my balcony
I'm counting down and will fire it tonight

A fever all around
A feeling, burning, yearning
When we're leaving ground
A journey homeward bound
Maybe we'll stay in the Milky Way
A room on Alpha Centauri A, with a view

We need to lift off, get outta here
To travel with the speed of light feels good
We're going so fast
Stars turn to stripes
And see so clear what's left behind
What midnight was is now a Fading Blue

The Earth from above
A blue-green marble spinning through
That silver stardust
It's probably what made us
Returning to Saturn again
While I'm still holding hands with you

We need to lift off, get outta here
To travel with the speed of light feels good
We're going so fast
Stars turn to stripes
And see so clear what's left behind
What midnight was is now a Fading Blue

We need to lift off, get outta here
To travel with the speed of light feels good
We're going so fast
Stars turn to stripes
And see so clear what's left behind
What midnight was is now a Fading Blue
