The Nigel Purcell Trio - He is leaving (Remastered)

Looking out the window
Of his bedroom at night
Fills him with fear and
It fills him with fright
He is God's creation
With a lot on his mind
All the way through high school
And He's making the grades
He's gonna fly a spaceship
One day
He's got to get up
And commune with the stars
Well that's how it was
And that's how it is
And the dream he had is
For filled destiny and He
He's selected for the next
Time around
What goes up
Sometimes won't come down

Waiting for the moment
When the engines ignite
Zero hour closer in sight
Waiting on the gantry
To be sent on his flight
Sitting here the gravity
Begins to kick in
Soon enough see the world
As it spins
Everything's OK and that is
How it should be
Well that's how it was
And that's how it is
As the radio link
Falters and it fades away
Reconnected and there's
Only one face
The changing plans are
Slowly relayed

I am leaving
I will not return
I have seen this
It's where I belong
There's no reason
But the reason was
In a question
Where on earth
Does all of this come from
And he fades away

And the radar shows he's
Past the point of no return
And nobodies got the right
To explain
He is someone going insane

He is leaving
All the crew are dead
Earth is spinning
The moon is ahead
In the future
Aliens will find
Stone dead pilot
With unanswered
Questions still on his mind
