the lift off was spectacular
we were speeding at full pace
you & me on a space walk
the joy was written on your face

i've never seen the stars shine clearer
i've never seen the moon been nearer
we were floating free in zero gravity

on our way past jupiter,
past vega and the milky way
we were lined to each other's space suits
so we wouldn't go astray

now we're a million universes apart
and the black holes that i pass
can't keep up with your heart

i did not hear you cut the line
for in space there is no sound
but you suddenly were distant
when i clumsily turned 'round

with your heavy moon boots you kicked me
waved good bye slowly and then sent me
on an endless space trip while you dock to the ship

i'm at the edges of a universe so vast
and i don't know how long the oxygen will last
if you see something in a night sky that is clear
that's just me burning in the outer atmosfear
