Earth in the window
|
Earth in the window
|
The earth in the window is visible ...
|
As a son mourns for his mother,
|
As a son mourns for his mother,
|
We are sad about the Earth - she is alone.
|
And yet the stars
|
Yet the stars
|
A little closer, but still cold.
|
And as in the hours of eclipse,
|
And as in the hours of eclipse
|
We wait for the light and see earthly dreams.
|
And we are not dreaming of the roar of the spaceport,
|
Not this icy blue
|
And we dream of grass, grass near the house,
|
Green, green grass.
|
And we fly in orbits
|
Unbeaten paths,
|
Space is stitched with meteorites.
|
Justified risk and courage
|
space music
|
Floats into our business conversation.
|
In some haze matte,
|
Earth in the window -
|
Evening and early dawn.
|
And the son is sad about his mother,
|
And the son is sad about his mother,
|
The mother is waiting for the son, and the Earth is waiting for the sons.
|
And we are not dreaming of the roar of the spaceport,
|
Not this icy blue
|
And we dream of grass, grass near the house,
|
Green, green grass.
|
And we are not dreaming of the roar of the spaceport,
|
Not this icy blue
|
And we dream of grass, grass near the house,
|
Green, green grass.
|
And we are not dreaming of the roar of the spaceport,
|
Not this icy blue
|
And we dream of grass, grass near the house,
|
Green, green grass. |
