world apart

V11

on nights like these when i am far away,
looking on the world from low earth orbit,
as nothing comes to mind i'd like to say,
tens of thousand things i'd rather forget
thanks to you, my role is never sordid
looking up to me from rocky beaches
when i see your eyes i'm thankful for it
writing instantly a hundred speeches
frozen starry night behind me preaches
continents ahead creep slowly under
learning how to live without you teaches
what it's like for lightning without thunder

counting seconds coming close together
we can survive any kind of weather
