about

A spacey song for when the stars are messing with you. For those impermanent moments.

lyrics

Halley's first comet in a yellow sundress
Goldfinches peak out from behind the flowers in their nest
Summer has got no room to shine
When only once a millennia do I find a gift so divine

She was born in a star hidden far beyond Orion
Of a supernova crash in space
And though she conquered the Nemean Lion
The universe still tried to save her face

With a wink from the face of the man on the moon
She bat back with an independent tune
And I covered up my eyes
And watched her burn across the sky

And it was Halley's Comet in my eyes
Such a whisper in the night sky
Over heads did she fly
Did she burn

With a wink from the face of the man on the moon
She bat back with an independent tune
And I covered up my eyes
And watched
her burn
across the sky
