Astronauts Lyrics by Emperor Yes

An Island Called Earth

2014

[Verse 1]
The astronauts had left it right to the last minute
Hoping that the air would hold on for just one more hour
Their breaths were getting heavy, as heavy as their helmets
And they sit, and they wait, wondering what will happen back home
[Chorus]
The clouds were broken by a large spaceship
All people down below blissfully unaware
[Verse 2]
The planet had been rescued by two men in white spacesuits
And they cried as they laughed; only they knew how close we had come
You cannot waste a moment, when all we have's a lifetime
And we sleep most of it, and when it's gone, it can't come back
[Chorus]
The clouds were broken by a large spaceship
All people down below blissfully unaware
[Outro]
Now we have all the time
We never seem to find the time
Now we have all the time
We never seem to find the time
Now we have all the time (Down below)
We never seem to find the time (We're unaware)
Now we have all the time (Down below)
We never seem to find the time (We're unaware)
