Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When, when will you be landing?
When, when will you return?
Feel, feel my heart expanding
You and your alien arms
[Verse 2]
All my earthly dreams are shattered
I'm so tired I quit
Take me forever, it doesn't matter
Deep inside of your ship
[Verse 3]
La, la, la, la, la, la, landing
Please, oh, oh, won't you return?
Feel, see your blue lights are flashing
You and your alien arms
[Verse 4]
Deep in the forest I whirl
Like I did as a little girl
Let my eyes rise in the sky looking for you
Oh, you know, I would go anywhere at all
'Cause no star is too far with you, with you
[Verse 5]
La, la, la, la, la, la, landing
Please, oh, oh, won't you return?
Feel, feel my heart expanding
You and your alien arms
[Verse 6]
All my earthly dreams are shattered
I'm so tired, I quit
Take me forever, it doesn't matter
Deep inside of your ship
Land, land
[Verse 7]
Oh I am waiting for you
Oh I am waiting for you
Oh I am waiting for you
Waiting for you to take me up by my starry spine
[Verse 8]
Oh, oh, oh
(Distant, distant fingers) Oh I'm waiting for you
Waiting for you
Oh, I am waiting for you
