Down To Earth!

Empty house
And empty roads
Fill my heart
With tears of yore

The cadence comes
And the music ends
The night is late
It's time to part

Say your sorry and goodbyes
It's been 30 years
Lost your nearest and dearest ones
Their faces remain
Their voices haunt

Wishing to go back
And change
Tell them what remained
What it means to you.

But then, you can't help it
The tide has turned
You're too far away

Caught in a time warp
Uneasy and so empty
You could drown..

One whole desert.

And the stars come out at night
They shine on you
Their smiles intact.
"Son, you all right there?"

It's so empty here,
Mom and Dad.
I need you now.

Leave your starry skies;
Just once more
Come on Down,
Down to Earth!
