Four years out (at near light-speed) from the nearest form of Terra Firma can take its toll, especially if you’re the only one onboard this inter-stellar freighter.

I’m not saying that this is the truth.

I’m not saying that this is not the truth.

All I’m saying is that this song, as they are wont to do more often than not, simply walked in one day, sat down, and wrote itself.

It remains one of my favorite song poems to this day.

The Words:

My childhood sun
is but a star
for they grow that small
when you come this far

And from this dark within dark
it’s getting hard to see
for the wintry dust
of the galaxy

Me, I’m tending to my sanity
what little that I’ve got
I’m feeling pretty low
and I cry a lot

I was hoping for adventure
I was hoping for a lot
now I’m four years out
and I’m not too sure
of what I’ve got
