Moonwalker

I listen to the countdown
Slowly getting further
Slowly getting further away
And I can feel the moment
Slowly getting closer
Slowly getting closer now
And my work will not be done
'till I return
The shadows to the sun
Moonwalker
Leaving footprints in the grey dust
I contemplate the moment
I wonder if I might be cursed
This night or blessed
And I imagine that she’s sleeping
Far away and softly breathing
As the light pours down
From the curtains onto her skin
Then into sacred rivers fall
And from the minarets they call
Moonwalker Moonwalker Moonwalker
Not the same man
There on the ground
Fighting gravity is only bringing me down
So I think I’m gonna stay here
You can go on back without me
I’m gonna miss you
But I think it’s for the best
And now I’m signing off in space
Will they remember me this way?
Moonwalker Moonwalker Moonwalker
Moonwalker Moonwalker Moonwalker
Not the same man
There on the ground
Fighting gravity is only bringing me down
