A Starhauler's Lament

country, sad, science fiction, space, iambic pentameter, slow, male voice

[Verse]
I've sailed these space lanes for most of my life,
A wanderer adrift, in the cosmic tide.
I've watched planets rise and fall from sight,
My heart aching for the ones I left behind.

[Chorus]
Out here in the black, my heart's still aflame,
With memories of home and the ones I can't claim.
The stars call my name, a siren's sweet song,
But the price that I pay, it feels so wrong.

[Bridge]
Like a sailor bound to the sea,
I am bound to these stars and galaxies.
I'll ride these tides 'til the end of my days,
With a heart full of love, and a soul in pain.

[Bridge continued]
...and a soul in pain.

[Verse 2]
"I remember the day, I kissed you goodbye,
Your tears stained my cheek, as I looked in your eyes.
'Just a few runs,' I said, 'and we'll have it made,'
But oh, how wrong I was, the price that I paid."

[Chorus]
"It's been a long road, I'm weary and worn,
With nothing left to go back to, no safe harbor to call home.
But still, I'll push on, 'til my final days,
For the stars are my only companions, along these cosmic ways."

[verse 3]
I'll share my wisdom, with the young who'll listen,
Teach them the cost, of this life they've chosen.
'Go home,' I'll say, 'while you still have the chance,'
For the stars, though they shine, can't give you romance.

[Chorus]
The stars may shine, but the heart still aches
For the love and the warmth that only home can make.
I've traveled far, but I've paid the toll
Of a life spent wandering, a restless soul.
So cherish those you hold dear,
Don't let the stars lead you to fear.
For in the end, it's the love we find
That truly eases a wandering mind.

[verse]
So here's my advice, for those who'd roam the stars, Hold tight to your loves, keep them close to your heart. because when the voyage is done, It's the memories of love that keep you whole.
