Thrusters Paroles

I know they're coming back for me.
But how much longer will they be?
I didn't mind the summer's heat,
Or being ankle-deep in snow.
If the hat was dropped, I was prepared to go.
All the years of vigilance,
I've grown weary of the strain.
The trouble isn't nearly worth the gain.
I know they're coming bac kfor me.
But how much longer will they be?
Am I as absurd as I seem?
I guess it all was just a dream.
Just as I rise to leave
I hear the old, familiar sound
Of thrusters pounding atmosphere.
I have spent many nights
Staring at the sky.
All the distant stars that shine,
How I've longed to make them mine.
All of the wasted years I knew that they'd come back for me.
To cut me loose and set me free.
If this is as absurd as it seems
My whole life was just a dream.
Just a dream.
