Astronomy (Song for Maureen)
There's Jupiter ...
It's like five million miles away,
but textbooks never mention "up"
--I guess 'cause everything is relative.
I'll bet it's lonely there.
I know it's lonely here
without her.
I'm wondering,
how far away is heaven?
Some say it's just beyond these stars ...
I guess a song won't have the answer,
but I bet it's lovely there.
I know it's lonely here.
And if home is where the heart is,
well, then mine's beyond those stars,
a million broken pieces
out of reach.
I'm wondering
if there's a God in heaven,
and can He turn this night to dawn?
I know a song can't hold the answer,
but she won't be lonely there.
But god, it's lonely here ...
And if home is where the heart is,
well, then mine's beyond those stars,
a million broken pieces
out of reach.
Now I'm wondering,
how far away is heaven?
Some say it's just beyond those stars.
I know a song can't hold the answer,
but you won't be lonely there.
God knows, it's lonely here,
so lonely. It's lonely here
without you.
