Ookla The Mok - Tiberius Rising lyrics

Jimmy always was a restless boy You could see it in his eyes There was something wrong when I watched my son When Jimmy watched the skies And very often on an Iowa night I'd see him standing in the yard I can't describe how I loved that boy But Jimmy loved the stars And I remember he'd make paper boats They seemed to bring him peace of mind And then one day he sailed away Leaving me behind CHORUS: Singing, "Some day I'll be going away And I don't know when I'm coming home I'm leaving on a moonbeam I'm sailing away on a star I don't think I'm ever coming home" While all the other kids were flying kites Jimmy was nowhere to be found He coudln't bear to see it ride the air While he was on the ground And though he always got along with the girls I knew he'd never settle down He had a date with a greater love The first ship out of town So if you see that boy of mine Tell him I hope he's doing well And sometimes on a starry night I swear that I can hear him still CHORUS
