A Hundred Trillion Miles Away I'm running from a loneliness, I'm running from my "home", but all I've found is emptiness, I've found that I'm alone. The sea is deep and black and cold, Islands of warmth pass away, I'm a billion years young and a thousand years old, I've gone a billion miles today. I'm a hundred trillion miles away, I've gone a billion miles today. I'm a hundred million years ago, and my home is far away. The place was small, and warm and kind, that I'll never return or retrieve, but it wasn't my home that I left behind, for I never had a home to leave. I understood eternity, but I could never find words for my love, though the smiling stars are calling me, I'm doomed forever to rove. I'm a hundred trillion miles away, I've gone a billion miles today. I'm a hundred million years ago, and my home is far away. I'm wandering through the star swept sky, till I come to my Journeys end, and then I'll smile and quietly die, a man without a friend. I'm born to die and I'm dead to birth, I have have no home to flee, I'm born to cry and I'm dead to mirth, there's no one waiting for me. I'm a hundred trillion miles away, I've gone a billion miles today. I'm a hundred million years ago, and my home is far away. I'm a hundred trillion miles away from nowhere, for a thousand years and a day I'm doomed to roam, I can fly for ever and ever and never get there, cause I'm a lonely man, I'm a man without a home.
