Traveling on space highway Three long years to this day A billion. million, trillion miles Home is a long, long way away From bow to stern, she's 20 miles long Ten miles high and wide A beautiful swan in a silent sea No water to slow her down Sometimes it seems we're motionless Caught between time and space Other tiny star systems rush headlong by Stallions will rust in the rains No earthly sound can penetrate This black and endless void Only thoughts and dreams Of the unborn babes Where your body and fill your mind Every day down those quiet canyons Like a love that's for the stars And people that shop at the market place And the ship loads ever, ever on If ever we come to our promised land Gotta take the shuttle ground For the black swan never ever wants to rest Never stops to say goodbye
