Popular Post Arcana Posted January 12, 2016 Popular Post #1 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Farewell Major Tom Drowning in the silence Fuel is running low Planet Earth's still blue As it twists and turns below I'm floating in my tin can Drifting far away An austere space surrounds me Reaching forever, beyond today Major Tom to Ground Control Am I really all alone I know you're out there somewhere How I miss your friendly tone I'm escaping from Earth's gravity Our world is growing small Swallowed by the vastness Far beyond my call In case you're still receiving I'll transmit 'til the end It's all there's left to do I'm speaking clicking send Escape velocity is increasing I'm tearing through the void My destination is out my hands My humanity is unemployed Sailing across the Universe Adrift through darkened skies As I gaze on untold mysteries Reflected in my eyes I'm talking now to someone else I may be going insane So many voices in my head Pouring in like rain The silence speaks in whispers The stars are oh so bright I feel the peace around me That pierces through the night Ground Control I miss you You've been my distant friend I miss my wife and child so much I feel their love ascend Calling all the cosmos This is Major Tom Can anybody hear me Through my static intercom I'm reaching out for guidance My time is running short I'm voyaging through the heavens It's too late to abort I see a blinding light ahead It's piercing to my soul Major Tom is signing off now I think I've reached my goal © 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVG Posted January 15, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I love the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy by Bing and David... Two dynamic entertainers coming together to sing a beautiful duet...
