Lightyears

There's a light riding high tonight in the sky; I know it's the moon but
Stars are brightly receding deep in the dark, like cars on a desert road

It's a dangerous planet, asteroids falling from space, disease and disaster
Still we know it's the most magical home in the universe, so

I'm trying to hold my faith in the power of gravity
I'm hanging on to this tree so I won't drift into space

Hold my hands out to the sky at night, lookin' through my fingers
Seeing nothing between them and the stars but empty lightyears

I'm trying to hold my faith in the power of gravity
I'm hanging on to this tree so I won't drift into space

Standing here on the beach watching the sun sinking down
It's disconcerting to think we're spinning backwards upside down

I'm trying to hold my faith in the power of gravity
I'm hanging on to this tree so I won't drift into space
