New Model Army: Space - Tekst piosenki

You walk the thinnest of the ice, so easy to hurtWe drove through the dark in the pouring rain and barely said a wordSo dress your wounds as best you can and close your tired eyesTry to climb away from here towards the empty skies And I'll meet you there, high above it allIn the kiss of air, the lover's breathVisions rise from each little death As Moses stands and turns his gaze away from the feuding tribesWalks towards the mountains and through the rocks he climbsGod, he orders Moses - 'Bring the people to my will''Leave me be' cries Moses, keeps on walking up the hill And I'll meet you there, high above it allIn the kiss of air, the lover's breathVisions rise from each little deathAnd should the Devil come and should he say - 'All of this will I give to you, if you just bow down and worship me'I'm on my knees. "The white twisted clouds and the endless shades of blue in the oceanmake the hum of the spacecraft systems, the radio chatter, even your own breathing disappear. There is no cold or wind or smell to tell youthat you are connected to Earth. You have an almost dispassionate platform - remote, Olympian and yet so moving that you can hardly believe howemotionally attached you are to those rough patterns shifting steadily below."(quotation from Thomas Stafford, astronaut)
