Lyrics
PAST THE MOON
VERSE 1
I SEE THE SIGNS IN THE AIR FINGERS POINTING TO A FARE RESCUE SHIP IS COMING SOON TAKING US PAST THE MOON AND ON BEYOND TO THE MILKY WAY WHAT WILL YOU SAY ON THAT DAY ON THAT SEA WHERE THE STORMS DON'T GO FULL OF PEACE DON'T YOU KNOW
CHORUS 1
THE SKY IS SO CLEAR FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST IN BRILLIANT SIGHT A HOLY NEST THE AIR SO SWEET RIPE FOR YOUR FEET NOT TOO HOT NO TIME TO WEEP
VERSE 2
YOUR NUMBER'S UP STEP ON BOARD BETTER NOT GO TOO SLOW RESCUE SHIP IS LEAVING SOON TAKING US PAST THE
MOON PACK UP YOURSELF PREPARE TO FLY THIS TRIP IS SO QUICK BLINK OF AN EYE DON'T FALL BEHIND CASTING YOUR
DOUBTS THE SEASONS CLEAR YOURS AND MINE
CHORUS 2
READY YOURSELF FOR THE TRIP PAST THE MOON YOUR SEAT IS HERE PLENTY OF ROOM ENJOY THE RIDE NO TICKET IS
NEEDED TO THE VERY END YOU ON MY SIDE
