Eternal Loser
I loved a girl named Ruth once, but lost her on my way.
I saw her shadow walking on a shore leave world today.
And now it's time for going, I leave this world behind.
I've even lost her shadow, save the one left on my mind
I loved dark Miramanee, on a world called paradise.
And dreamed away season there, my years drowned in her eyes.
All duty was forgotten, all thought of d**h denied.
I held her in my arms all night and in my arms she died.
I loved sweet, bright-eyed Edith outside time's written line.
She told me all her secrets and I never told her mine.
My world's survival waited, asked all I could devise.
I kept a friend from saving her; she fell before my eyes.
There was a maid named Rayna once, immortal and unknown.
I battled with Methuselah to have her love alone.
Her battle was the harder, too fierce, too bittersweet.
It tore her untried heart in two; she crumbled at my feet.
I love them and I lose them and too many times they die.
I come home broken-hearted and back to my stars I fly.
My steel and star-drive lady, I keep no love but you.
And when this mission's over I suppose you'll leave me too.
I guess you'll leave me too.
