 Astronauts And Ancient Dreams

On the dark side of the moon

We built a snowman out of dust

And watched dead rockets flying by

In waves of antiquated rust.

Travelling through the universe

We'd tired of outer space

And went to rest upon the rock

To touch the moon man's face.

We bounded down to craters

And jumped up to the stars

Spread our picnic on the ground

And made our plans for Mars.

For we were growing lonely

For the sights and scenes of home

Though the planet was deserted

And all the ones we loved... long gone.

Just you and I, for centuries now

Survived to man the ship

To go where no one has gone before

On a thousand different trips.

But we are tired, so very tired

Of sailing through the black

And we are longing for red soil

And dream of going back.

The face there of your father's father

The fallen statue lain

It begs us to return and raise

It to it's feet again.

That Earth would know our story

Stare in silenced shock and gulp

To lay the myths at last to rest

When that ancient one stands up.

It will be our last great mission

To restore those ruins and soon

And we sigh in unison with a million stars

On the dark side of the moon.
