|
Waiting in the afterglow. |
|
An aurora fading quickly in the sky |
|
Bearing magnetic north |
|
As the distance unfold and time ticks by |
|
Nut my heading remains constant, |
|
As the Tropics and the latitudes spin round. |
|
Not held down by gravity, |
|
Surfing radio waves like breakers on the tide, |
|
I'm in touch with my A.M. pulse, |
|
Long after all the rest of me expires, |
|
And I become new modulation |
|
As the skip distance grows wilder on every bound |
|
Yes it's some life I'm living! |
|
A hundred miles up there! |
|
Through aerials, on the tired ground |
|
It's a modest life here tied down to the Earth |
|
But i'm thinking head up in the clouds, |
|
Forgetting where I came from in rebirth |
|
And I'm scot-free, in the atmosphere, |
|
There's no-one who can ever hold me down |
|
And it's some life we're living! |
|
A hundred miles up there! |
|
The pull's already caught us, |
|
We're at home in the upper air |
