the last man on the moon
they'll pick me up here soon
it's taking them so long
it's not the place where i belong
my journey to the stars
didn't even get to mars
there's this yearning in my heart
because we're still light years apart
lost out in darkness
i'm counting the sparkles
gold distant brightness
too far to be warm

you're part of the stars
and i'm just an astronaut

when i dropped in inter-zone
on a planet cold as stone
i felt lonesome from the start
until a sunbeam touched my heart
those stars can make me shine
only stars last over time
and their light will travel on
a long time after they have gone

you're part of the stars
and i'm just an astronaut

now that i've left ground i fear the distance
acceleration needs heart beat, there's no takeoff without dreaming at high speed
---
still the milky way is so far away
can't bring the starlight home
before it turns to stone
compared to out of space
there's no other place
i'm lost in transit loosing ground looking down on earth
lost out in darkness
i'm counting the sparkles
gold distant brightness
too far to be warm
