Melancholy Astronautic Man

You're like a man, alone in outer space
Cradling the earth in the palm of his hand
You orbit 'round tempted by a face
Of beauty so alive she leaves you spellbound

Even the stars seem to burn for her

What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms

You say the things you know will spark her laughter
Marvel at the glow of the light it brings
But getting close is the darker matter
Forces are at work greater than you know

Even the stars seem to burn for her

What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms

Round and round and round
You go in circles

Round and round and round
You go in circles

Round and round and round
You go in circles


What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling without a place to land
Your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms
