Rocket Man : Still Flying

Aa Harvey



Rocket Man : Still flying

 

 

It’s cold as Hell up here in outer space.

I left the old me way behind.

It’s hard to see that there’s another way.

I always said that I wanted to fly.

 

 

But now I’m way up here, spinning out of control.

I need a safe space to reel me in, but I can’t grab a hold.

So I’m gonna fly even higher than I’ve ever been before.

I’m a rocket man who is swimming far away from the shore.

 

 

I never wanted to be a rocket man.

They just let me go alone, so I took the chance.

 

 

And I think I’m gonna find a way to be;

Got wings attached, no ejector seat

And I’m travelling faster than I ever should,

I’ve gone a million miles further than they said I could.

 

 

Left Mars behind, I think it’s been gone a year.

No turning back time now, the Earth’s not here.

A distant star that I can no longer see.

I’m drifting away and there’s no tractor beam.

 

 

I never wanted to be a rocket man.

They just let me go alone, so I took the chance.

 

 

Man on a mission, searching galaxies.

A lonely man in space alone.

I fly with shooting stars, they comfort me.

I guess we’re both a long, long way from home.

 

 

My destination is the universe.

A forward explorer from way away.

Forever searching for the perfect words,

But all I find is more stars in space.

 

 

I never wanted to be a rocket man…
