Der Mond (the moon)
lyrics and vocals by Queenie

The Moon is rising above me
Across the starboard
Of my ship so alone
I will not rest until I am within your arms

Houston, Houston can you hear me?
Systems are failing
All shields are down
On the wings of a prayer
If there's anyone there at all

The stars whiz by at full throttle
Time's in a bottle
The years do pass me by
But I still believe that one day I'll be back home

It seems so wondrous, whirling high above the atmosphere
A million suns strung like a band of pearls

Away in orbits light years from the stars within our hemisphere
Orion rules his band of distant worlds

The Moon is calling me forward
Is time running backward?
Or is it a trick of space
I will not rest until I can see your face.
