The Astronaut

I am the stars
I am the moon's lonely face
I am the lifeless plains of Mars
And the emptiness of space
And Saturn with her rings of ice only knows the cold that surrounds me
For I have joined the satellites calling out to you across the galaxies

Like a distant star you found me
Like a constellation far, you named me
And like the burning of the sun you loved me
You loved, you loved me, love me

Come in, come in?
Is anybody out there?
I'm lost and I'm alone and quickly running out of air
I watched the tether break and felt my body drift away
Into the cold away from you

Like a distant star you found me
Like a constellation far you named me
And like the burning of the sun you loved me
You loved me, you loved me, love me

I lit the sun, and hung the stars in place
I've walked the plains of Mars and felt Saturn's cold embrace
And my hands still bear the scars of filling the emptiness of space
I breathed life into you and you were never alone...
