Cape Canaveral

Remember the day you told me you were leaving?
 Far away on a long, long trip
 The water at the seaside was windless and even
 Gravity seemed to loosen its grip
 And if you look across the beaches at the light
 The sun is hiding underneath the red horizon line
 Making outlines from the trees
 Blinding you and me
 Blanking out the world
 I can't see anything behind your eyes
 I can feel you shaking as you touch me
 Taste the sweat dripping on your lips
 A warm summer wind is blowing all around us
 I never thought it might end like this
 And as we stand on the sidewalk looking down
 I could swear I see your shadow disappearing from the ground
 Leaving me alone
 With nowhere else to go
 Standing in a strange place
 Afraid to take a look around
 I know you told me when you left
 I wouldn't have a single thing to fear
 But I wonder if you'll still remember me
 When you're high up in the atmosphere
 And will the thin air up there
 Still carry my voice to you?
 Like a bottled message on the radio waves
 Will it ever get to you?
 I know you told me when you left
 I wouldn't have a single thing to fear
 But I wonder if you'll still remember me
 When you're high up in the atmosphere
 And will the thin air up there
 Still carry my voice to you?
 Like a bottled message on the radio waves
 Will it ever get to you?
 You know you're gonna find me waiting here for you
 Everyday 'til you come back
 Maybe it would take a miracle but you know
 I've always believed in that
 And if you look down at me from the sky
 I'll be standing alone, waving goodbye
 Blowing kisses at the sun
 Ignoring everyone
 I never even stopped to ask you why
 Why?
 Why?
