about

It's a cosmic affair

lyrics

I was a gardener who didn’t let the garden grow
Assumptions harden when you cultivate the status quo
Dreams fade when the sun rises,
See the flowers as they turn their heads to watch you go by

Willows whiten and the aspens tremble in delight
Morning brightens and the agitated birds take flight
Mr Newton was wrong, clearly,
this attraction is stronger than the gravity that captured me.
You made me see

I am a planet that’s drawn towards your universe,
look out for meteors intent on changing better for worse
Lost in the dark, with the quarks and quasars, which could come first
Under the sun, we’re all dust that’s come from the stars in the cosmos, you are my atmosphere

Like a lighthouse sends a beam into the stormy night
Sick of shadows, I responded to your guiding light
Dark matter and string theory, My philosophy was probably impractical
My calculations couldn’t clarify the things I saw,
My foundations were diminished by a fatal flaw
This feeling defies reason,
this finding implies I’m just a particle conducted by a natural law

I am a comet that trails around your universe,
a shape in the night, flying fast as light and speeding to earth
Venus and Mars and a million stars were there at your birth
Under the sky, you and I were made from dust of the cosmos,
you are my atmosphere

I am an atom, a tiny speck in your universe,
part of the pattern, since Eve and Adam, better or worse
A poet who dreamed of a cosmic scheme, and wrote it in verse
Under the sky, you and I were made from dust of the cosmos,
you are my atmosphere
