Interlude: Memories of Earth

SILENT IN MY SILVER SHIP, LOST AMONG THE STARS
THE BEAUTY OF THE UNIVERSE SLOWLY SPINNING PAST
DOWN AN ENDLESS CORRIDOR WITH INFINITY FOR A WALL
I'M A LONELY PLANET BOY WHO HEARS THE SIRENS CALL

MEMORIES OF EARTH ARE DISTANT GREY AND VAGUE
A HERO OF THE NATION WHEN I WENT AWAY
MY ONLY THOUGHTS WERE FOR ALL THE WONDERS THAT I'D FIND
BUT NOW YOUR DEEP BROWN EYES ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

AT TIMES LIKE THIS I FEEL SO ALONE
I'M 10,000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME

THE GEMS OF ALL CREATION SPARKLE IN THE NIGHT
I'M DEEP IN MY SUSPENDED SLEEP, A DREAMING SATELLITE
BUT ALL THE MARVELS OF THE VOID
THE BILLION STARS LIKE DUST
REMIND ME OF YOUR FACE AND MAKE ME FEEL SO LOST

AT TIMES LIKE THIS I FEEL SO ALONE
I'M 10,000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME
