[F] [C]
I [F] have made a little music [C] in some corners of the land
[Am] I have fused some crystal images [G] from common grains of sand
[F] If I haven't reached the [Em] heavens, I've surely learned to fly
[Am] I've been caught up in the soaring and [G] the touching of the sky
[C] But the star [Em]-tripper's coming on [F] back home now
[Em] It's a crazy [Am] blind man's journey [G] he's been on
[F] The [C] star [Em]
-tripper's lost [F] and all alone now
[Am] And it's your [G] face he'd like to look [F] upon
[Am] You cease [G] praying and he won't be [C] long gone
[F]
[C] [Em] [F] They put you in a capsule, [C] they send you to Earth the sun
[Am] They carve you into plastic [G] before your orbit's done
[F] And all the scribes and seers, [Em] they chorus out your name
[Am] Though the photographs and headlines [G] change, the story stays the same
[C] Though the star [Em]-tripper's coming [F] on back home now
[Em] It's a crazy [Am] blind man's journey [G] he's been on
[F] [C] The star [Em]-tripper's lost [F] and all alone now
[Am] And it's your [G] face he'd like [F] to look upon
[Am] You cease [G] praying and he [C] won't be long gone
[F] I thought [Ab] that I was soaring [A] like an eagle
I [F] thought that [Ab] I was roaring [Am] like the wind
[F] I thought that [Ab] I had surely [Am] reached the [D] end [Am] now
But [G] I can't [C] remember anywhere [G] I've been
[F] Was I looking for a star [C] or something out behind it?
[Am] Whatever I was looking [G] for I surely did not find [F] it
And for all my sky-high journeys [Em] the only thing I know
[Am] Is that you almost always lose [G] yourself when you let yourself go
[C] So the [Em] star-tripper's coming [F] on back home now
[Em] It's a crazy [Am] blind man's journey [G] he's been on
[C] The star [Em]-tripper's lost and [F] all alone now
And [Am] it's your [G] face he'd like to [F] look upon
[Am] You cease praying [G] and he won't [Ab] be long gone
