I have spent many nights
Staring at the sky,
Searching for a sign of something more
Teased by flashing satellites
Trying to trick my eyes
They pale beside what I am waiting for
I know they're coming back for me
But how much longer will they be?
I didn't mind the summer's heat,
Or being ankle-deep in snow
If the hat was dropped, I was prepared to go
All the years of vigilance,
I've grown weary of the strain
The trouble isn't nearly worth the gain
I know they're coming back for me
But how much longer will they be?
Am I as absurd as I seem?
I guess it all was just a dream
Just as I rise to leave
I hear the old, familiar sound
Of thrusters pounding atmosphere
I have spent many nights
Staring at the sky
All the distant stars that shine,
How I've longed to make them mine
All of the wasted years
Will shrivel and disappear
Oh come with me
You can come with me
Won't you come with me?
I knew that they'd come back for me
To cut me loose and set me free
If this is as absurd as it seems
My whole life was just a dream
Just a dream
