Starchild Songtext
von Bob Pegg

I was born by the light of the nine moons of Jupiter
Father was a rocket man from Venus way
I′ve travelled by his side to the corners of the galaxy
Never knew the meaning of night and day

Hold me if you can, I'm a star child
Through the silent planets I wander alone
Before I have to go, I hope to let you know
I could use some loving kindness on my long way home

I′ve been drunk in the bars of Neptune and Mercury
Been thrown in jail for courting a Dog Star girl
And I've learned from my life that whatever a man may do
The comets will collide and the planets whirl

Hold me if you can, I'm a star child
Through the silent planets I wander alone
Before I have to go, I hope to let you know
I could use some loving kindness on my long way home


In the shining rings of Saturn I′ve searched for my identity
The Martian desert chilled my body through and through
My wanderings have never stilled the restlessness inside me
But I thought I′d find a little peace of mind with you

Hold me if you can, I'm a star child
Through the silent planets I wander alone
Before I have to go, I hope to let you know
I could use some loving kindness on my long way home

I can see by the look in your eyes, your love is gone
I think I understand the way that it must be
The universe can be as good a bride as any other one
No girl could understand me as well as she

Hold me if you can, I′m a star child
Through the silent planets I wander alone
Before I have to go, I hope to let you know
I could use some loving kindness on my long way home

Well now love, I think the time has come for me to leave you
And point my silver rocket to the Milky Way
When you wake up in the morning, I'll be gone from your bedside
Chances are I won′t be coming back this way


Hold me if you can, I'm a star child
Through the silent planets I wander alone
Before I have to go, I hope to let you know
I could use some loving kindness on my long way home
