Jayne From Andromeda Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

Late last night the midnight movie 

Went out in a blaze of clichs 

A cultured voice whispered goodnight 

And suggested I switch off the set 

Well my eyes felt so heavy, the sofa so warm 

That I slept till the static awoke me 

And there on the screen, such as I've never seen 

Was a girl strange and beautiful, smiling. 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Well I looked in amazement, she gazed at me, so intent 

Was her expression and then 

She spoke oh so frail in technical detail 

Of her world so that someone might hear 

Well science is inexcusably intricate 

Love is rewardingly simple 

She smiled tenderly, looking so heavenly 

That I longed to be way out in space with . . 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Then she said 'goodbye' and though vainly I tried 

To say 'stay', the picture broke up 

I'm a little too late to communicate 

For the distance is too great between us 

It's all of two million light years . . . 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

Jayne from Andromeda Spiral 

(Repeat and fade).
