lyrics

ON THE MOON
(Joe Forkan)

We fell in love, and I lost myself completely
And before too long you became the world to me
Without a thought, I fell into your orbit
No surprise, there was no gravity

We burned so bright, but you disappeared in stages
And I didn't think it'd all fall off so soon
One day I woke, we'd lost all our momentum
And I found myself alone upon the moon

Now I'm alone, and I'm stranded on the moon
With your vision looming so far overhead
Each day I walk, with you as my companion
But you wouldn't even know if I were dead

So tell me Houston, can you hear we've got a problem?
As you cast your gaze out coldly into space
Please give a thought, to a mission here to save me
'cause I'm stranded here alone upon the moon

Now I'm alone, and I'm stranded on the moon
Such a cold and lonely place to be marooned
I want to lay me down, and rest my weary head
But there's just no place to do it on the moon

I thought that you might even see me out here waving
But I guess you’re only gazing at the moon
