My Unknown Someone
How small the earth seems
Poor little planet
Viewing it from a distance
Light-years away
Way off in a starlit place
Here I sit mooning
On the moon, mooning
Questioning my existence
Just a tiny speck alone in space
I'm drifting
I'm floating
A leaf in the wind
An aimless evening sailing on the air
I'm empty
Yet filled with some nameless feeling
I ache to come to rest
Somewhere
In someone's arms
In someone's heart
Some unknown someone's life
Somewhere
My hours are endless
My days have no shape
My nights are spent at moonlit solitaire
I'm busy, yet some wondrous thing is missing
I long for... I don't know
But I know it must be there
In someone's eyes
In someone's smile
The face I'll see someday
Somewhere
I'm weary of drifting
A change hovers in the air
A sea-change
A sky-change
I feel that it's almost there
My journey's end
Lover, friend
My unknown someone
Somewhere
I'm weary of drifting
A change hovers in the air
A sea-change
A sky-change
I feel that it's almost there
My journey's end
Lover, friend
My unknown someone
Somewhere
Poor little planet
Viewing it from a distance
Light-years away
Way off in a starlit place
Here I sit mooning
On the moon, mooning
Questioning my existence
Just a tiny speck alone in space
I'm drifting
I'm floating
A leaf in the wind
An aimless evening sailing on the air
I'm empty
Yet filled with some nameless feeling
I ache to come to rest
Somewhere
In someone's arms
In someone's heart
Some unknown someone's life
Somewhere
My hours are endless
My days have no shape
My nights are spent at moonlit solitaire
I'm busy, yet some wondrous thing is missing
I long for... I don't know
But I know it must be there
In someone's eyes
In someone's smile
The face I'll see someday
Somewhere
I'm weary of drifting
A change hovers in the air
A sea-change
A sky-change
I feel that it's almost there
My journey's end
Lover, friend
My unknown someone
Somewhere
I'm weary of drifting
A change hovers in the air
A sea-change
A sky-change
I feel that it's almost there
My journey's end
Lover, friend
My unknown someone
Somewhere
