Astronomy Songtext
von Thin White Rope

I woke riding on a falling moon
Turned my heart and my pillow blue
Traveled so long that you′re old and new
Traveled so fast I lost my shadow

One of these days we'll realize
The darkest shadow falls from the clearest skies


You′re so silent and your skin's so cold
That I jump up and say, "No shadow, go"
And you surfaced from a deep blue sleep
Said, "I'm thirsty and I had a dream"
You say, "There′s a glass of water on the floor
There′s no need for you to leave me anymore"

One of these nights I'll sell my soul
Sleep in something that doesn′t rock and roll

I woke riding on a falling moon
Turned my heart and my pillow blue
Tried to make peace between the new and old
Tried so hard to be my shadow

One of these days we'll realize
The darkest shadow falls from the clearest skies
