Lightyear Lonely

LIghtyear Lonely (Original Sci-fi Pop) Lyrics: There’s a violet sunrise breaking through the glass Casting double shadows on the alien grass I’ve got two moons pulling at an empty tide And a million miles of quiet on the outside They say the air is breathable, the soil is turning green But it’s the coldest kind of beautiful I’ve ever seen. I’m a lightyear lonely, drifting in the dark With a heavy-gravity, homesick heart I’d trade this whole galaxy, every glittering star Just to feel a drop of rain from where you are Yeah, I’m standing on the edge of the great unknown But I just want to go home. The comm-link's been static for a week or two So I close my eyes and try to picture ocean blue I try to tune my ears to hear the summer wind But it’s just the hum of engines where the walls begin We’ve got rivers made of methane, mountains made of ice And I’d trade every single one to see a sunrise twice. 'Cause I’m a lightyear lonely, drifting in the dark With a heavy-gravity, homesick heart I’d trade this whole galaxy, every glittering star Just to feel a drop of rain from where you are Yeah, I’m standing on the edge of the great unknown But I just want to go home. We wrote our names in stardust, we crossed the great divide We did it for the future, carried all the human pride But nobody ever warned us what the distance really costs When you find a brand new world, but realize what you lost When you look up at the blackness, and you can't find your own sun. Just a pale blue dot. Just a memory in the dark. Looking at a yellow star in the lower quadrant... I’m a lightyear lonely. I just want to go home. Take me home.
