Lyrics
Oh, John
You weren't on
You were off
Another world
Pulled you in
An atmosphere
Like gravity
Disappeared
Held you up
Stopped you dead
In your tracks
Arrested you
And you moved
To the beats
Only you knew
We all heard the beating of the drums
They sounded simply too far off
We all knew we could look but never find them
We watched you go
Like an astronaut
With a keyboard and a four-track heart
You walked on
Nothing to do
But watch you go and wish we could follow you
Oh, John
Where do you go
When you write these songs
That break our hearts?
You shield your eyes
From the sun
We want to pull
You from the dark
Oh, John
Where have you gone?
Our astronaut
With the four-track heart
Another world...
A galaxy
Meant for you
But not for me
