[Verse 1] He packed his name in dust And walked out of the frame Past the cracked-up roads And the towns that forgot his name He saw a red sky burn Over fields of black and gold Every place he touched Still left his hands cold [Pre-Chorus] He kept on going Kept on going far Past the rings of silence Past the fallen stars [Chorus] Lonesome soul, with a suitcase of dust He rode the dark between worlds From Mars to the moon of a dead king’s bluff From Europa’s ice to Saturn’s curls Every planet said, “Not here, not now” Every moon just watched him pass Lonesome soul, keep drifting out Till the universe sends him back [Verse 2] He crossed a silver tide Where the old comets sleep Saw whole worlds turn Like secrets in the deep He asked the open night If it knew his missing half It only gave him rain And a long, quiet laugh [Pre-Chorus] Still he kept on moving With the ache in his chest Every door was a distance Every map said rest [Chorus] Lonesome soul, with a suitcase of dust He rode the dark between worlds From Mars to the moon of a dead king’s bluff From Europa’s ice to Saturn’s curls Every planet said, “Not here, not now” Every moon just watched him pass Lonesome soul, keep drifting out Till the universe sends him back [Bridge] If you’re out there somewhere Under a softer sky Save him one small corner Where he can finally lie If you hear his footsteps On your faraway shore Call his name in the cold He won’t be lost anymore [Chorus] Lonesome soul, with a suitcase of dust He rode the dark between worlds From Mars to the moon of a dead king’s bluff From Europa’s ice to Saturn’s curls Every planet said, “Not here, not now” Every moon just watched him pass Lonesome soul, keep drifting out Till the universe sends him back
