AstroCappella: Lunar Love
Music and Lyrics by Alan Smale
My love's a quarter million miles away And she's seven thousand miles around When I'm walking on her surface, gravity's one sixth of normal So my feet don't hardly touch the ground From her mares to her uplands, from her basins to her craters She's the shining sphere that dominates my dreams We're orbiting together 'round our center of attraction Now my days and nights are coming up moonbeams What goes around comes around - you know it Don't tell me that my love is just a phase You may think we're on the wane but time will show it We go from full to new to full in only twenty-nine days (point five three) There's a craziness about our sweet attraction There's a side to you that I don't ever see But your tidal forces keep my ecosystems running high Let me shelter in your Sea of Tranquillity Let me shelter in that shining Lunar-sea I'm not the only man this side of Mars To get my heart so dazzled by your charms You've been the guiding light to many sailors and astronomers But none of them has held you in his arms Don't talk to me about our little difference in ages What's a mere four point six billion years? They say you have no core, nothing solid at your center And a lack of atmosphere just makes a girl so insincere What goes around comes around - you know it Don't tell me that our love is just a phase You may think we're on the wane but time will show it We go from new to full to new in only twenty-nine days (point five three) There's a craziness about our strange attraction There's a darker side to you that I don't see But your tidal forces keep my ecosystems running high Let me shelter in your Sea of Tranquillity Let me shelter in that shining Lunar-sea!
