Reflection of Hope

Hello my distant grey friend
 It's been a while since we walked in darkness and
 Abandoned footprints
 Oh, how I long to go
 Back to the Zone where no winds blow
 We've all got a dark side
 Get lost in yours and try to hide
 It seems that gravity is depleted between you and me
 We find tranquility and get
 Lost in her arid sea
 And I desire to ride in your derived tide
 On sling shot Eagle's wings we glide
 With Gods of time and of light
 In '68 you looked alone from this crowded room's window
 In '69 we first met when strong arms took a small step
 It's been since '72 that I
 Last got lost on you
 Your reflected light's on my mind
 Shines bright by the shoreline night
 You've made new friends since then
 It won't be long until I'm in your hands again
 I'll toe the line
 I'll buy us time
 I've got supplies and a souped-up disguise
 Redesigned an all new ride
 So hold on tight
 With refocused eyes
 We'll watch the Earth rise
