I saw pictures from the space shuttle
North America at night
I could almost see my house
I could almost see the rest of my life
Now my mothers in the hospital
And my friends are in the news
Collecting trophies for the songs they wrote,
When we lived in the shadow of the moon.

Guess I never made a gold record
And I’ve never been to Mars,
But I’ve traveled round this world
shooting fireworks at falling stars
(and prison bars)
And my father’s got a decent job
I hear he’s finally pulling through,
There’s more to life than singing songs we write
When we are in the shadow of the moon

And I see colors when I hear your voice,
Grab your wings, they’re putting gravity on trial
I see colours, I don’t hear the noise
Because we’re only flying for awhile
Because we’re only flying for awhile

I saw this picture of my niece
Twisting high above the narrow beam
And my brother looked so proud
Like he woke up in this perfect dream.
And I’ve known you all my life
But I knew you long before that too.
Let’s go dancing to the songs we wrote
When we lived in the shadow of the moon

And I see colours when I hear your voice
Grab your wings, they’re putting gravity on trial
I see colours, I don’t hear the noise
Sometimes we’re only flying for awhile
I could love you in the falling rain
Grab your things, this is a storm we’re meant to ride
Like synesthesia, aboard a stalling plane,
It’s like we’re only flying for awhile,
Flying for awhile

And I see colours when I hear your voice
Grab your wings, they’re putting gravity on trial
I see colours, I don’t fear the choice
Sometimes we’re only flying for awhile
And I could love you in the falling rain
Grab your things, this is a storm we’re meant to ride
Like synesthesia, aboard a stalling plane,
It’s like we’re only flying for awhile
Flying for awhile
