The Dream That Fell to Earth

THE DREAM THAT FELL TO EARTH

I can't let her go
I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm
She landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth
I can't let her go

9.15 P.M, I'm driving home again
You see I'm alone
Just around the bend the storm was moving in
I'm 3 miles from home
Rain was crashing down, then lights behind the clouds
The sky cracked and warped
Can't remember when the thunder struck again
But lightning had forked

I shut off the engine, stalled
I saw the spacecraft, I watched it fall,
I saw it crash-land I watched her crawl from the flames

I can't let her go
I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm
She landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth
I can't let her go

Gazing in despair, at twisted metal, flares and bright burning rock
Found her lying there, so helpless, cold and scared, alive but in shock
Carried her away to safety and escaped, the truth we exscind
She destroyed her ship, the evidence of which was blown to the wind

I shut off the engine, stalled
I saw the spacecraft, I watched it fall
I saw it crash-land I watched her crawl from the flames

I can't let her go
I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm
She landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth
I can't let her go
