lyrics

Those were our days
We would space-walk in the park
I made you laugh, we kicked the grass
I didn’t float home until the dark

And you never grew cold
But you grew distant, never told me why
I was a clown, said I’d be around
I was a fool to let you fly

Got my space suit on
I’ve got dotted arrows drawn upon the night
As the count down runs, all the systems hum
I can follow arrows to the sky

When the engines run
I’ve got green lights right across the board
I locked everyone out, but I do not doubt
And now it really seems as if a man can touch the sky

I lost those days
And how the vacuum’s more complete
You are not there, not anywhere
That I can reach on aching feet

I will not let it end
I’ve watched the wall clock since you’re gone
My head tilts back, to view the black
And you’re a pale star in the dawn

Got my space suit on
I’ve got dotted arrows drawn upon the night
As the count down runs, all the systems hum
I can follow arrows to the sky

When the engines run
I’ve got green lights right across the board
I locked everyone out, but I do not doubt – but …

… now … oh-oh-oh-oh-ohoo-oh

Houston, I have a problem
It has to be
There’s love in outer space
But there is too much junk beyond the place
Where all the blue turns black
And how can one man
In his tiny can
Have ever hoped …

I had a space suit on

I had a space suit on

I had a space suit on

I had a space suit on
