I'm all wires and aluminum Comet dust and nitrogen I followed everyone's command First 18 years were fine and grand No space junk upon this ship Flying high at 36 Without flash, without conceit I've done all they asked of me But every journey that begins should have an ending Beside this daily stream of data I keep sending Beyond the stars where time and space are bending I miss home Lift off August '78 No malfunctions to relate 30 billion miles I've come All those trips around the sun For my trials with ice and fire They inked a deal that I'd retire Air and Space wants me on view On Independence Avenue But the brass they disapproved of my ambitions So after all these years of silence I still listen Between fever dreams of static and transmissions Letras de cancionesI miss home Wave goodbye to what you know Don't be sad to see it go I passed the moon and earth today Oh so close, so faraway Thrusters useless, fuel used up Contact lost, completely fucked Unless they send someone at last To try and catch me as I pass While the final coordinates are pending For the waves and flares and fields I will keep tending Every journey that begins should have an ending Every journey that begins should have an ending Every journey that begins I miss home From Letras Mania
