Oh my love
Where did you go?
And why did you leave?
I close my eyes and you are here
I open them and you are nowhere to be found
All you left was a note with the words
"Sorry, leaving earth"
I borrowed a spacesuit from Sun Ra himself
Set out on my astro travels
Dodging lifeless satellites as I made my way past
The dark side of the moon
Where did you go?
and why did you leave?
Open outer space blurred from the speakers
My soundtrack for the six-year odyssey
To find you
Mars truly is a red planet
and meteor showers are not so serene
while in the midst of them
Oh I have witnessed things quite wondrous to see
Travelled through the tail of an icy comet
Mesmerized by the brilliant glow of stars outside my port window
Yet nothing compares to you
Star of my story I always tell
I searched for you on the moons of Jupiter
Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto
The storms of Jupiter rages
The surface is always changing
I hope this transmission finds you soon
As I drift in space
I can make out Earth in the distance
Shining bright
No need to return
Nothing there for me without you
You are my starship, wherever you are
The storms of Jupiter rages
The surface always changes
Did I miss your distress beacon?
Did I take our love for granted?
Can you hear my transmission?
Where did you go and why did you leave?
Where did you go and why did you leave?
