I have spent many nights

Staring at the sky

Searching for a sign of something more

Teased by flashing satellites

Trying to trick my eyes

They pale beside what I am waiting for

I know they're coming back for me

But how much longer will they be?

I didn't mind the summer's heat

Or being ankle-deep in snow

If the hat was dropped, I was prepared to go

All the years of vigilance

I've grown weary of the strain

The trouble isn't nearly worth the gain

I know they're coming back for me

But how much longer will they be?

Am I as absurd as I seem?

I guess it all was just a dream

Just as I rise to leave

I hear the old, familiar sound

Of thrusters pounding atmosphere

I have spent many nights

Staring at the sky

All the distant stars that shine

How I've longed to make them mine

All of the wasted years

Will shrivel and disappear

Oh come with me

You can come with me

Won't you come with me?

I knew that they'd come back for me

To cut me loose and set me free

If this is as absurd as it seems

My whole life was just a dream

Just a dream
