Roddy Frame - In Orbit Lyrics

Just words on the ether
A trail, strung out in space
We never learned
Flesh grew on their bones while we slept

Bluebird singing sweetly, still
For a mate who won't return
An ending the heart won't accept

As we measure the distaance from the sun
Back to the moon in a flash
We misread their meaning and it's done
Ended too soon
It's crashed, it's broken down

Hey, little bird
What's the word? What's wrong?
Goodnight, Yeah, good afternoon
Miss your wish, I miss your song

No snowdrop asterisk
Your little glyph is gone
You've flown, left us all alone
With everyone, so long

All the early hours and the afternoons
Trapped in time and space
On the avenue and in crowded rooms
I never find my proper place

Makes me wanna get high
Fly, forget about the world
Gonna get over you somehow
And though it hurts to start and be drawn apart
Got to be without you now

People are stars, they're so beautiful
But they'll do what they will do
Life is strange, things change
Hang on to what is true

People are stars, they're so beautiful
But they'll do what they will do
Life is strange, things change
But we can make it through
