Stars

You've been walking round the far side now
And I'm wondering when you're coming home to me
'Cause I've been thinking maybe I could travel too
Though it's a long long way from where we used to be

I think it's a nice-looking place
But you might disagree

We're almost there, just smell the air
A place we can call ours
Right through the dust, the engines thrust
We're dancing with the stars
Just you and me on a rocket ship to Mars

We've been journeying long and still somehow
It feels like you're a million miles from me
And though we're circling round the red sphere now
It's not quite the place I hoped where we would be

You asked, is it much longer now?
And I said, wait and see

We're almost there, just smell the air
And look up at the stars
Going round and round until we found
That landing place of ours
It's just you and me and the whole of planet Mars

You smiled as I walked through the door
And I said, come on in

We're finally there, I breathe the air
To feed my racing heart
My face goes blue, I'm falling through
You catch me in your arms
It's just you and me and a hundred million stars
