Never Been To Athens - Single

by Alphanaut

/
1.
I'm a man of many words Though few have been said I viewed them all perspectively But hid them away in my head I've never been to Athens I've never been to Rome Never been anywhere that ever felt like home I never had a compass to show me the way To the safety of your arms Tethered to the Earth In the shadow of my fears I may have smiled But I never met their eyes in twenty years I've never been to Athens… The wind rises and carries me To the places I'd dreamt I'd be I close my eyes, strengthen ties And see your eyes right in front of me I've never been to Athens… I've never been to Venus I've never been to Mars I've never been some place With so many stars I drift of towards them And find my own way Can you see me, can you see me

AL 424-15 05:30
100 years I've walked alone Through fields of brick and bone Where is my mother Where is my maker Where have all the humans gone In the house where I use to live A place to plug my cathodes in Where is the mother Where is the maker Where have all the people gone In the days before the bomb Stayed inside to kept the home They would protect me In times of properity In times before the Earth had died Wait now wait, there is a message coming in A voice familiar, cutting through the din Singing sweetly to me A voice of family Could it be, could it be Little AL424-15 I'd be there if I could If I were still alive Be brave and find your way Make it through another day Hear my voice and you'll never be alone Hush hush, mother's talking now
