Sun turning round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery ocean
It's so very lonely
You're a hundred light years from home
Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely
You're 600 light years from home
It's so very lonely
You're a thousand light years from home
Bell flight 14, you now can land
See you on Aldebaran
Safe from the green desert sand
It's so very lonely
You're 2000 light years from home

(Brian) was the strings on 2000 Light Years from Home, Brian on mellotron...
2000 Light Years... is my favorite
(on the album), but it's lousy in stereo.
