Back Down To Earth - from Boys in the Trees - 1978

                  
We jumped into a river on the moon
                      
But the water was too cold
                           
We tried to buy the morning star
                  
But it was already sold
                  
I wanted to make it big with you
                              
But my plans must have been too bold

                               
And it's back down to earth again
                  
Back in my car and gone
           
Back on the road
               
Back on the road alone

                  
You were my summer angel
                     
Your eyes how they shone
                           
Just last night we were talking about
                  
How much our love had grown
                  
I wanted to prove how good it could be
                              
But my plans will have to be postponed

                                 
'Cause it's back down to earth again
                  
Back in my car and gone
           
Back on the road
                      
Back on the road alone
