It's
a long haul from my world to yours
Eleven
thousand miles as the crow flies
It's
a long haul flight, so we fly by satellite
A
telephone call, a picture on my wall
Letters
you write about your life
Upside
down
I've
never met your child but I've seen the way she makes you smile
I
see you in her eyes, the way they catch the light
And
your joy ricochets off asteroids
And
beams back down to earth, and from the dark side of the world
I
send you back a line to tell you I'm
Upside
down
I
know you've been here yourself
Freefalling
into empty space
Grabbing
handfuls of thin air
And
on dark days like these it seems to me
That
a real friend is a rare thing
It's
a long haul from my world to yours
And
there's a second's delay with every word you say
High
above the world the satellites turn and we're just
Spinning
in the dark, circling our star
And
the coming of the night is just the morning light
Upside
down
