Jacki posted your picture today
On her social media wall
As I scrolled through the big news, conspiracies, and attitudes
Yeah, it put my anger on hold
There was a hint of a smile in your eyes
Like you’d just realised that the camera was there
Deliberately candid, your features all perfectly framed
By a wisp of your hair
Our Capricorn pilot
Return to your orbital sun
Happy birthday, to our valiant one
Hey, that’s the same outfit that you wore in the city
The night of the red-headed girl
You were smooth as the devil out to catch ye’ an angel
At Joey’s Bar, Pizza & Grill
You’d perfected an accent that made you confident with strangers
Betrayed by your larrikin grin
We talked in our code and made insidious jokes
And the red-headed girl up and left
Our Capricorn pilot
Return to your orbital sun
Happy birthday, to our valiant one
Well I guess there were signs at the time
But we never paid no mind, to such serious stuff
You were our Saturday savior, our cosmic space ranger
Always shakin’ it up, messin’ things up, maybe covering up…
You were the door slam, don’t give a damn
While I was the quiet reproach
You had the ladies all wrapped around you finger
And I envied each heart that you broke
‘Til you met my one and only, you smiled but you told me
You were afraid you would never know love
I guess Mother earth failed ya, so you set your ship sailin’
To the constellation of your birth
Our Capricorn pilot
Return to your orbital sun
Happy birthday, to our valiant one
