The White Birch - The Astronaut lyrics

You spoke so eagerly Of leaving all The sights and shores That govern men You told me This land was once Made of ink And that I could change And you said If this could be the day We fall into These empty hands You said We can do anything We can do anything but stay I'm the astronaut I can easily be held By the stars in the dark Cloths of any night You spoke so easily Of trading all The lines in your face With the night To breathe In between the days And tomorrow Was just a thought And you said If this could be the night You fall into My sole black heart You said I cannot do a thing I can do nothing, nothing but stay I'm the astronaut I can easily be led By the stars in the dark Cloths of any night I'm the astronaut I can easily fear For the stars in your eyes To break like morning light
