The Grand Ballroom - Orbiting Lyrics

Lend me an ear
I got so many things to say
Sit down, clear the table
And the world away

When I send my letters
Somewhere into outer space
Will signal be received
Will you reciprocate

Will you leave my words
Orbiting like waste
Will you recount memories
Of times that got away

And tales of mysteries
That faded away
And tales of mysteries
That fade

I get caught in history
When even children married
Vowing the tattered edges
Of naiveté

There are trees now in the yard
Where you planted stems
It was early in the century
When you planted them

I'd write a book for every minute
If I had a day
Either that or I would watch
The sun slowly drift away

Either way you'd be the star
Washed out by the rays
Yes, you would be the star
Washed by rays

You may not recognize me now
And I'm sure you're someone new
Somewhere out there orbiting
Far beyond the moon

Will you now come back to me
If only in my mind
Time has made us strangers
But I still call you mine

Though the world pushes us apart
And we are so inclined
We remain old partners
In unsolved crimes

We are forever partners
Who ran out of time
We are forever partners
Somewhere out of time
