Ten-Thousand Light-Years

Wish I had met that girl before I signed my life away off-world, When I didn’t have a reason to be alive Now she’s so far from me, stuck on Alpha Centauri And I’m out here with a broken hyperdrive I’m a lost & lonely outlaw sailing on the starry sea I would sell my sorry soul to bring my baby back to me 10,000 Light-Years away, She’s my guiding star after every hurricane She’s like the sun’s shining rays, Even from so far, pulling on my heart Her gravity remains. If I could turn back time to when I could hold her hand in mine, I would find some excuse just not to leave Five years since I’ve left port and I’m running low on life support, Yeah but, that’s not the reason I can’t breathe It’s a lonely night in hell aboard this broken privateer I would brave a hundred-thousand more to taste her atmosphere 10,000 Light-Years away, She’s my guiding star after every hurricane She’s like the sun’s shining rays, Even from so far, pulling on my heart Her gravity remains.
