The narrator is (as far as he knows) the only survivor of a global war that probably used nuclear and chemical weapons, causing a nuclear winter. He is then visited by a “spaceship from another star,” which could be aliens or remnants of the human race.
[Verse 1]
Stranded here on planet Earth
It's not much but it could be worse
Everything's free here, there's no crowds
Winter lasted five long years
No sun will come again, I fear
Chemical harvest was sown
[Chorus]
And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?
[Verse 2]
A spaceship from another star
They ask me where all the people are
What can I tell them?
I tell them I'm the only one
There was a war but I must've won
Please, take me with you
[Chorus]
And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?
