Nothing can breathe in the space
Colder than the darkest sea
I have dreams about the days
Driving through your sunset breeze

In the moondust

In the moondust
I'm a castaway
Men reap what they sow
And I say what I know to be true
Yeah I'm living far away
On the face of the moon
I buried my love to give the world to you
The brightness of the sun
Will give me just enough to bury my love
In the moondust
I long to hear your voice
But still I make the choice to bury my love
In the moondust
I buried my love
In the moondust yeah
