Moon

I took a rocket to the moon once, on a night a long time ago The night I shuttled to the moon was quite a fright and very cold Look out the window see the Earth disappear The shuttle lands and it was clear I’m on a rock, oh god I suited up and took my first step on the white dirt we see from home Seven steps I look behind me to see my shuttle, it had flown I try to run in its direction, make my footprints fly I didn’t make the connection That bird has flown, I’m gonna cry And the tears in my helmet made it hard to see My head started spinning and my knees were weak But then my ears didn’t fool me From not to far, there was a beat And then some singing, yeah “You are not alone” Said the rumble, under my feet “I’ve been so alone, if you walk to me, we can meet” It was a voice that I’d never heard, but a presence to which I was familiar I glide in the direction that the sound drew me It was a long way, the journey The white rocks that were below me started to fight with my feet The moon surface below me started to crack apart into a smile It was then that I realized, I was standing on a face that I’d seen many times And then my eyes weren’t playing games, From right below me, there was a smile And then some singing, yeah. “You are not alone” Said the rumble, under my feet “I’ve been so alone, if you walk to me, we can meet” “You are not alone” Said the rumble, under my feet “I’ve been so alone, it was a matter of time (it was a matter of time) For you to save me (for you to save me) It was a matter of time (it was a matter of time) For you to save me Interlude: (x2) I had become the savior of the man on the moon I’d stay to solve his loneliness and not go home soon And all we had was this old tune In not too long, we’d kill the gloom
