The Astronaut Lyrics & Chords By The White Birch

You spoke so eagerly
Of leaving all
The sights and shores
That govern men
You told me
This land was once
Made of ink
And that I could change

And you said
If this could be the day
We fall into
These empty hands
You said
We can do anything
We can do anything but stay

I’m the astronaut
I can easily be held
By the stars in the dark
Cloths of any night

You spoke so easily
Of trading all
The lines in your face
With the night
To breathe
In between the days
And tomorrow
Was just a thought

And you said
If this could be the night
You fall into
My sole black heart
You said
I cannot do a thing
I can do nothing, nothing but stay

I’m the astronaut
I can easily be led
By the stars in the dark
Cloths of any night

I’m the astronaut
I can easily fear
For the stars in your eyes
To break like morning light
