Lyrics
Long distance operator please connect me to the moon
It wont be long I’m going there to get myself in tune
It’s been so long since I’ve been home I’m sure the place has changed
I long to see the earthrise above the mountain range
My wife she was expecting when I last kissed her good-bye
I wonder how our child is, he must be almost five
It really makes me wonder how much this job is worth
As soon as I get settled we might take a trip to Earth
In the silent darkness, in a frozen void
Stationed on an outpost, forsaken asteroid
Looking at my view screen I though I saw your face
It’s enough to make a man believe its lonely out in space
Long distance operator, are you still there?
Put me through and hurry, I’ve got no time to spare
“Hello honey, how are you? Is our child all right?
It wont be long before I’m home, flight comes in tonight”
It wont be long I’m going there to get myself in tune
It’s been so long since I’ve been home I’m sure the place has changed
I long to see the earthrise above the mountain range
My wife she was expecting when I last kissed her good-bye
I wonder how our child is, he must be almost five
It really makes me wonder how much this job is worth
As soon as I get settled we might take a trip to Earth
In the silent darkness, in a frozen void
Stationed on an outpost, forsaken asteroid
Looking at my view screen I though I saw your face
It’s enough to make a man believe its lonely out in space
Long distance operator, are you still there?
Put me through and hurry, I’ve got no time to spare
“Hello honey, how are you? Is our child all right?
It wont be long before I’m home, flight comes in tonight”
When I hear this song it reminds me of that song by David Bowie "Space Oddity". Love the fills between verses. Not much ya need to do here if your calling it a work in progress. The guitar sounds really mellow to hear.
