The Black Swan

Lyrics

Traveling on space highway
 Three long years to this day
 A billion. million, trillion miles
 Home is a long, long way away
 ♪
 From bow to stern, she's 20 miles long
 Ten miles high and wide
 A beautiful swan in a silent sea
 No water to slow her down
 ♪
 Sometimes it seems we're motionless
 Caught between time and space
 Other tiny star systems rush headlong by
 Stallions will rust in the rains
 ♪
 No earthly sound can penetrate
 This black and endless void
 Only thoughts and dreams
 Of the unborn babes
 Where your body and fill your mind
 ♪
 Every day down those quiet canyons
 Like a love that's for the stars
 And people that shop at the market place
 And the ship loads ever, ever on
 ♪
 If ever we come to our promised land
 Gotta take the shuttle ground
 For the black swan never ever wants to rest
 Never stops to say goodbye
