Traveling on space highway
Three long years to this day
A billion. million, trillion miles
Home is a long, long way away
ย
From bow to stern, she's 20 miles long
Ten miles high and wide
A beautiful swan in a silent sea
No water to slow her down
ย
Sometimes it seems we're motionless
Caught between time and space
Other tiny star systems rush headlong by
Stallions will rust in the rains
ย
No earthly sound can penetrate
This black and endless void
Only thoughts and dreams
Of the unborn babes
Where your body and fill your mind
ย
Every day down those quiet canyons
Like a love that's for the stars
And people that shop at the market place
And the ship loads ever, ever on
ย
If ever we come to our promised land
Gotta take the shuttle ground
For the black swan never ever wants to rest
Never stops to say goodbye
