Carol Masters Lyrics

she sits by the window, stares into the night 

just waiting for a foreign sound from outside 

far beyond the atmospheres, 

she is listening for a call to take her homewards 

to herself 

oh, i love you so 

he who's master of the icy shots won't harm you in the morning 

she knows that the pavement's hard, there between the stars 

to travel on to martian homesick city 

she is weeping silently but there's not a tear 

just raindrops falling from the painted ceiling 

the dance of the foraging bee will number all the things 

she has been longing for all of her life 

i will not pass this night in vain, she says 

i'll stand this kind of rain 

i know the way, i'll find the path 

yes, carol wants to go to mars, 

back where the red-cold sun is sinking 

to the channels of a'daar 

day breaks through the grating 

someone moves a chair 

and sunlight blisters dazzling on a glass 

take a pill and greet the day for sedative holidays 

why aren't you sleeping in the night 

oh, i love you so 

he who's master of the icy shots won't harm you till the evening 

we shall meet tomorrow night 

and i'll kiss you just as tenderly as cygnus kissed the deserts
