Oak was buried with its head in the ground Roots reaching for the auburn sky Crown of old pulled from the mud To ease the journey To keep the wheel from turning I'm the rain on your parade I'm the hand closing the door The wolves of the hour are howling outside And you will surrender to all your desires The last decide A word to the wisest The art was a lie With no bag to check in A cynical ride Still we will make it Winter took It won't take me Fence is high But so are the trees You are waving Face of strangers You can't help them Cruel idea Soyuz high Cold war messenger Here at last Shore full of stars Every man haunted inside Timeless void Barren soil We made the sword from a snake In a metal window's frame The gold balloon will rise again Bouncing light encapsulate A cosmonautic escapade Miles away from promised land A little man with little faith He'll never make it home Ran his kite around the fields A dancing diamond Brought him closer to his dream of outer space Time has ways to make you pay The phase of entry The shields are burning I couldn't keep the angle This devil ship A future machine Came in too steep on one wing Out of control I know you mean this There's no more next time This house soured Crashed through the hours All these wasted years Soyuz One Hurry home Through your endless flight
