Lyrics

Tales From The Sun

Audio Sample: Spaceman

This song is a kind of sung prayer or affirmation for what I hoped, at the time, would be my future. It’s about being free, being happy, being loved and giving love. It worked out that way too! When I first heard what John J Francis had done with this song I was amazed at how he’d been happy to stick with just my simple guitar and vocals and no other instrumentation, the rest of the production being carried by effects.  These many years later I still wonder at how it works, but I do think it does work.

I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky,
I’m gonna be a spaceman, I know I can make it if I try,
I’ll be traveling past the sun, so if you think you’d like to come,
Then climb aboard the love for you and I.

I’ve gotta have a space-love, I wanna see it in the sky,
Make all of us a space-love, I know we can make it if we try,
Have you tried to ride before, and all alone it took much more,
But if we go together we’ll get by.

I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky,
I’m gonna be a spaceman, I don't wanna stay here till I die,

I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky,
I’ve gotta have a space-love, I want see it in the sky,
I’m gonna be a spaceman, I’m gonna ride across the sky,
