LYRICS:

The starship flies
New worlds whirl by
Comets streak
And light years fly

The old world
Withers and dies
The starship flies

Girl with eyes of gold
My lover's voice
Quivers, so old
Soon it will be still
Elemental and chill
As the space outside my starship
Her sweet look, those curved lips
That teasing mouth will vanish
Those vivid eyes I love
Will grow dim
Then go out again
But not forever
Sweet Emily, not forever.

For time is just a place
I will not lose that face
I circumnavigate
Certain that my fate
Like time and space
Will curve and bend
To bring me back again

There will be no end
Of Emily, of Emily and me.


The starship flies
New worlds whirl by

Translucent is my skin
Colorless are my eyes
The old world
Withers and dies
The starship flies

My lover's gone
(My girl with lips of red)
She's long dead
But she hasn't gone too far

I sense her in the stars
In the space outside my starship.
Her gold eyes, those curved lips
Not blurred by time or distance
I search thru the heavens
For my girl.
Oh, how I miss her
But not forever
Sweet Emily, not forever.

I traveled far
To the center of a star
The journey's done
I have found her.

It was Emily's love
Not gravity's pull
That captured my ship

My heart is full.
Emily is close by
And I sleep in her golden eye
I sleep in her golden eye.
