Lyrics The Astronaut - The White Birch

The Astronaut

You spoke so eagerly
Of leading on
The sights of shores
That govern and
You told me that this land was
Made a lake
And that I could change
And you said
This could be the day
We fall into
These empty hands
You said we can do anything
We can do anything with steam
I’m the astronaut
I can easily be
Held by the stars in the dark
Clouds of any night
You spoke so easily
Of trading all
The lines in your face
Where the light to breathe
In between the days
And tomorrow was just a thought
And you said
This could be the night
You fall into
My soul black heart
You said
I can not do a thing
I can do nothing, nothing but stay
I’m the astronaut
I can easily be
Led by the stars in the dark
Clouds of any night
I’m the astronaut
I can easily
Feel for the stars in your eyes
To break my morning light
