Michael Collins Lyrics

Boy Least Likely To Michael Collins

It's lonely in the universe sitting looking up from planet earth

It's funny how the world goes round even when it's turned upside down

I often think of Michael Collins sitting in Columbia I wonder if anyone on Earth was ever lonelier Staring out into the darkness circling the moon alone Counting stars and a million miles from home

Things on Earth seem commonplace But they look beautiful from outer space

On the far side of the moon the minutes quietly ticking by looking through old photographs and listening to Patsy Cline

Always hoping for the best but in his heart he fears the worst Knowing there's a chance that he'll return alone to Earth

And when you see things from a distance then you see things as they are Cause the world looks very different when you see it from that far

I just wish we didn't have to go so far To see the world from the stars

And when you see things from a distance then you see things as they are Cause the world looks very different when you see it from that far

When you look at it from space it's such a fragile place I just wish we didn't have to go so far To see the world from the stars
