Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little astronaut, where have you gone?
And how is your song still torrenting on?
Are you short of breath, up there in thin air?
Your magical song still tumbling on
[Verse 2]
Right now I need you
Right now I need you
Right now I need you
For my sadness has come again
[Verse 3]
My heart, it grows flatter
So I'm coming to find you
Coming to find you by following your song
[Verse 4]
Right now I need you
Right now I need you
Right now I need you
For my sadness has come again
[Verse 5]
Keeping on to deep space
Past dying stars and suns
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
Little astronaut, sing
[Verse 6]
Right now I need you
Right now I need you
Right now I need you
For my sadness has come again
[Verse 7]
Little astronaut, where have you gone?
And how is your song still torrenting on?
