Pluto, Tombaugh’s Heartbeat

Verse 1 She lives where the sunlight loses its way Where winter never seems to break A quiet world beneath the blue Still turning like she always knew The other planets shine so bright She disappears into the night No one can hear the things she knows So she keeps drifting on her own Chorus Oh, Pluto Floating where the lost things go Pluto With Tombaugh underneath the snow There’s a heart upon her frozen side Wide enough to hold the night Maybe the ones who stand alone Are carrying the biggest hearts we know Verse 2 She never asked to be apart Never chose the edge of the dark But there are places far away Where lonely things learn how to stay Charon moves beside her slow Like someone who will never go And in the silence, soft and deep She keeps a thousand dreams asleep Chorus Oh, Pluto Floating where the lost things go Pluto With Tombaugh underneath the snow There’s a heart upon her frozen side Wide enough to hold the night Maybe the ones who stand alone Are carrying the biggest hearts we know Bridge And maybe distance isn’t cold Maybe some things grow when they’re alone Maybe the dark can make us see What the light was never meant to be Final Chorus Oh, Pluto Still somewhere past the afterglow Pluto With that little heart below No crown, no place among the stars Just a quiet light from very far And maybe those they cast away Have the most love left to give someday Outro So she keeps turning Slowly through the blue A little heart in all that darkness Still shining through.
