In Orbit Lyrics - Seven Dials - Roddy Frame

Just words on the ether 

A trail, strung out in space 

We never learned 

Flesh grew on their bones while we slept 

Bluebird singing sweetly, still 

For a mate who won't return 

An ending the heart won't accept 

As we measure the distaance from the sun 

Back to the moon in a flash 

We misread their meaning and it's done 

Ended too soon 

It's crashed, it's broken down 

Hey, little bird 

What's the word? What's wrong? 

Goodnight, Yeah, good afternoon 

Miss your wish, I miss your song 

No snowdrop asterisk 

Your little glyph is gone 

You've flown, left us all alone 

With everyone, so long 

All the early hours and the afternoons 

Trapped in time and space 

On the avenue and in crowded rooms 

I never find my proper place 

Makes me wanna get high 

Fly, forget about the world 

Gonna get over you somehow 

And though it hurts to start and be drawn apart 

Got to be without you now 

People are stars, they're so beautiful 

But they'll do what they will do 

Life is strange, things change 

Hang on to what is true 

People are stars, they're so beautiful 

But they'll do what they will do 

Life is strange, things change 

But we can make it through
