spaceship from portland
words by fireball
That faraway look in your eyes
Don't worry.
But don't call me.
That faraway look in your eyes
music and performance by sarah mitchell
beamed to earth from the international space station
held me
I wonder what you're looking for
but you'd never tell me
You're a dreamer
Sometimes I'm one, too.
You dreamed of spaceships
I dreamed of you
My dream has ended
Now what I'm gonna do
Is fly on home.
My memories of
Your eyes and that faraway look
Are the only things that I took.
I hope that one day you finish that book.
The one that you're writing.
On some fine
Occasion I will send you a card
Some dreams fly and some go down hard.
I hope that one day you finish
that spaceship
that you're building
in the back yard.
Will always be here, though I'll be gone with the sunrise
You won't be shaken, even if you're surprised
There will be no need for any alibi
Some dreams go down hard
And some dreams fly
