lyrics

There's a gentle hum coming from the depths of the night
He's been sitting in his deckchair for years
There's hope bursting in his heart and in his eyes are tears
As the beutiful ship hoves into view

Beautiful ship are you coming
Brother we're coming for you
I hear the home planet calling
guide me back, gentle star

His thermos flask is loaded with hot chicken soup
His binoculars hang flacid at his side
He's grounded and astounded by increasing gravity
As the beautiful ship comes into view

Beautiful ship are you coming
Brother we're coming for you
I hear the home planet calling
guide me back, gentle star

Here the music of the sphere (gentle star)
You have waited here for years (gentle star)
Dry your lonely tears it's for you , the music of the spheres

Sad, confused and lonely sits our silenced waiting man
He's been waiting every Friday here for years
The sadness of his vigil, he realises now
is there never was and there will be

No, the beautiful ship isn't coming
He has all he'll have in this life
The spacemen are not concerning themselves with his life
There out of sight
