Last Astronaut In Space

lyrics

Round the world in 80 minutes
Just a pinprick on a midnight blue horizon
And I wish that I'd remember anything
Just anything about you
Than how damn much I missed you

I can see your house from here
Floating by way up high
See the signs I'm falling further out of grace
A voice pervades the atmosphere
Astral dust
And if I must I wish you well
Last astronaut in space

I treasured every minute
That the silence crushed my head
And wrapped around my legs
Pulling threads
Is it getting hard to breathe?
I barely notice anymore
Since my feet both left the floor
Since I bolted shut my door

Yet sometimes through the vacuum
Snatches of your laughter
Echo dispossessed
And with the gentle, lazy curling
Of your morning smitten hair
Cascading down my chest

For a moment I remember

I'm more than static on your radio
21st Century man in a can
So cold is the road out of civilisation
Talking with ghosts
I'm talking with ghosts

Will they find me washed up on a beach
In some interstellar sleep?
Will they find me, dare I dream
In a place of warmth and peace?
All burnt out
Crashing down
Through that happy home of ours
Any day I'll find a way
I'm coming back for you

In this unforgiving vastness
I could throw my voice
And hope that you could hear me
But out in space, nobody can hear anything
No one else for miles
How I wish that you were near me

I can see your house from here
Floating by way up high
See the signs I'm falling further out of grace
A voice pervades the atmosphere
Astral dust
And if I must I wish you well
Last astronaut in space

And I can see your house from here
Floating by way up high
See the signs I'm falling further out of grace
A voice pervades the atmosphere
Astral dust
And if I must I wish you well
Last astronaut in space
