The Black Swan
Traveling on space highway
Three long years to this day
A billion. million, trillion miles
Home is a long, long way away
From bow to stern, she's 20 miles long
Ten miles high and wide
A beautiful swan in a silent sea
No water to slow her down
Sometimes it seems we're motionless
Caught between time and space
Other tiny star systems rush headlong by
Stallions will rust in the rains
No earthly sound can penetrate
This black and endless void
Only thoughts and dreams
Of the unborn babes
Where your body and fill your mind
Every day down those quiet canyons
Like a love that's for the stars
And people that shop at the market place
And the ship loads ever, ever on
If ever we come to our promised land
Gotta take the shuttle ground
For the black swan never ever wants to rest
Never stops to say goodbye
Three long years to this day
A billion. million, trillion miles
Home is a long, long way away
From bow to stern, she's 20 miles long
Ten miles high and wide
A beautiful swan in a silent sea
No water to slow her down
Sometimes it seems we're motionless
Caught between time and space
Other tiny star systems rush headlong by
Stallions will rust in the rains
No earthly sound can penetrate
This black and endless void
Only thoughts and dreams
Of the unborn babes
Where your body and fill your mind
Every day down those quiet canyons
Like a love that's for the stars
And people that shop at the market place
And the ship loads ever, ever on
If ever we come to our promised land
Gotta take the shuttle ground
For the black swan never ever wants to rest
Never stops to say goodbye
