The view Through my window small I couldn't tell you why I've always felt so drawn to Solar windfalls I'm closer than ever to an answer for Bowie Yeah I turned to face the strange But what can life on Mars teach me About the richer man's change I'm disenchanted with leftovers received Small gains from buying inglorious days I still head for a new debt I may already have paid What have I become? Pursuing shiny desires Points of light above Keep me majorly wired Is there even a place At the end of my trail? Or will I endlessly trace A line that's destined to fail? The pale blue dot fades She is to me ever darker Ever farther she wanes And the chasm grows starker Oh I do look back You should know that I wonder But I've travelled too far Since you gave me my heart Start, I feel I still need a start As I plunge into the dark The oceans you hold They are unfathomably old They have stories untold I will neglect to behold Though they lay by my side It were as if they could hide When I turned a blind eye With a mistaken pride What I left there below me I can't point to anymore I can't sense in my expanse The directions you taught Once again I am sailing I couldn't be with you I don't know and I won't How you view the truth Now I'll look for another The truth's handsome brother A fantastical farce To what end? Cries the mother Waves from where I began Compel me with a notion But this voyager will chase No more pearls under the ocean
