LYRICS
Little astronaut, where have you gone, and how is your
song still torrenting on?
Aren’ t you short of breath as you climb higher, up there
in the thin air, with your magical song still tumbling on?
Right now I need you, for my sadness has come again
and my heart grows flatter – so I’ m coming to find
you by following your song,
Keeping on into deep space, past dying stars and
exploding suns, to where at last, little astronaut,
you sing your heart out at all dark matter.
