Bill Mericle - Far Planet Lyrics

The golden waves of grain
Aren't as thick and heavy
On this dusty beige planet
So many light years away

The jump bridge is only halfway built
The water is still free it rolls and spills
Into the canyon where you'll grow up
I saw your eyes in those two suns
When their ship was leaving me

Deep down in the dearth
The wires must be run in first
Those giant connectors
Look small from here
They can carry the flotsam
And the message in the bottle
That will someday bring
The missing pieces to me

These self-aware subroutines
Flicker uselessly
Stuck halfway out on a half-made
Bridge to the starry sea
