Nebulae

Keith Mills
Follow the stars above you

Out into the darkness of space

To find the light of heaven

Shining brightly in the nebulae.

Hell abides in faith with the good,

Everywhere high and low,

Driving on the mainline

Running with you every night

Out here where it's cold

I keep you in my sight

Oh, it's a long time all right

Since I held you in my arms

And kissed those rose petal lips.

Can heaven be far away?

Sending up the cosmos again

The nebulae appear in your eyes

And tears of joy for this fantasy

May in the end come to be real.
