John of the Four Track Heart

Oh, John You weren't on You were off Another world Pulled you in An atmosphere Like gravity Disappeared Held you up Stopped you dead In your tracks Arrested you And you moved To the beats Only you knew We all heard the beating of the drums They sounded simply too far off We all knew we could look but never find them We watched you go Like an astronaut With a keyboard and a four-track heart You walked on Nothing to do But watch you go and wish we could follow you Oh, John Where do you go When you write these songs That break our hearts? You shield your eyes From the sun We want to pull You from the dark Oh, John Where have you gone? Our astronaut With the four-track heart Another world... A galaxy Meant for you But not for me
