ASTRONAUT
Out on the edge of the stars
Endlessly drifting in the darkest of dark
Hope that it’s nice where you are
Out on the edge of the stars
Remember the days we were young
We laid on our coats in the back of your truck
Wondering what we’d become
Remember the days we were young
Now it’s me darlin’, when you look up
Yeah it’s me callin’, down from above
Yeah it’s me darlin’, when you look to the sky
It is me callin’, hope I catch your eye
I miss your feet on the ground
You left me so quiet at the speed of sound
Always thought you’d come back down
Forever your head in the clouds
Now it’s you darlin’, when I look up
Yeah it’s you callin’, down from above
Yeah it’s you darlin’, when I look to the sky
Yeah it’s you callin’, hope I catch your eye
Yeah it’s me
At least they’ll remember my name
A piece of me woven in the fabric of space
A ghost in an infinite grave
At least they’ll remember my name

A friend of mine introduced me to this song while we backpacked around Europe a few years ago. It turned into our theme song, and yes we did get fucked up in Hamburg on a Sunday Night! stainer
