Back Down To Earth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We jumped into a river on the moon
But the water was too cold
We tried to buy the morning star
But it was already sold
I wanted to make it big with you
But my plans must have been too bold
And it's back down to earth again
Back in my car and gone
Back on the road
Back on the road alone
You were my summer angel
Your eyes how they shone
Just last night we were talking about
How much our love had grown
I wanted to prove how good it could be
But my plans will have to be postponed
'Cause it's back down to earth again
Back in my car and gone
Back on the road
Back on the road alone
I wanted to prove just how good it could be
But my plans will have to be postponed
'Cause it's back down to earth again
Back in my car and gone
Back on the road
Back on the road alone
Back down to earth again
Back in my car and gone
Back on the road
Back on the road alone
