Star Tripper — текст песни (Harry Chapin)

I have made a little music in some corners of the land
I have fused some crystal images from common grains of sand
And if I haven`t reached the heavens, I`ve surely learned to fly
I`ve been caught up in the soaring and the touching of the sky


But the startripper`s coming on back home now
It`s a crazy blind man`s journey he`s been on
The startripper`s lost and all alone now
And it`s your face he`d like to look upon
Yes, he`s praying that you won`t be long gone


They put you in a capsule, they send you towards the sun
They carve you into plastic before you orbit`s done
And all the scribes and seers they chorus out your name
Though the photographs and headlines change the story stays the same


So the startripper`s coming on back home now
It`s a crazy blind man`s journey he`s been on
The startripper`s lost and all alone now
And it`s your face he`d like to look upon
Yes, he`s praying that you won`t be long gone


I thought that I was soaring like an eagle
I thought that I was roaring like the wind
I thought that I had surely reached the end now
But I can`t remember anywhere I`ve been


Was I looking for a star or something else behind it?
Whatever I was looking for, I surely dod not find it
And for all my sky high journeys the only thing I know
Is that you almost always lose yourself when you let yourself go


So the startripper`s coming on back home now
It`s a crazy blind man`s journey he`s been on
The startripper`s lost and all alone now
And it`s your face he`d like to look upon
Yes, he`s praying that you won`t be long gone
