Spaceman

I hold your picture in my hand

The faded polaroid sits firmly in my grasp

Its plain old little frame has aged far past the age that it would be replaced

But there are no picture frames in space

I saw the most beautiful sight

I came up to saturn’s rings and flew right on by the side

I don’t want to sound too saccharine, but I couldn’t help but be reminded of your eyes

You know I always try

When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue

All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you

Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say

Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home

I lay surrounded in black sky

Lost for all eternity but time still moves on by

The brilliant comet’s tails are still so gallantly bright I could cry

But there’s no place to wipe my eyes

The vessel I reside in isn’t fixed

These walls I swore were parallel now skew aside like this

But perhaps I might be seeing things, I’ve been alone so long I can’t be sure

You would tell me what's wrong

When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue

All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you

Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say

Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home
