about

Originally conceived as a tribute to the former planet Pluto, somehow this song turned on me. I think of it as kind of a cartoon, and would love to see some creative You Tube version of it...so have at it friends.

lyrics

Too far from the sun.
I’ve wandered and run
Now, my orbit’s undone, my world’s come unspun
I’m too far from the sun

And, that sweet melody
Floats in on the breeze
But, it won’t fall to me in this strange gravity
I’m too far from the sun

Oh, out here on the edge
Where the air grows cold and thin
You give thanks for the fire
That keeps you warm but then
You wake to another dawn
Too far from the sun

The old man on the moon
Looks a whole lot like you
But, it’s just a pale impression, you don’t get real reflections
This far from the Sun

Well, out here on the edge
Where the air grows cold and thin
You give thanks for the dreams
They keep you warm but then
You wake to another dawn
Just too far from the sun

Now, the hunger of your tongue
Tastes the words of the young
But, your poems have grown dumb your songs have been sung
You're too far from the Sun

So, you beg and you bum
Like you’ve had some unlucky run
But, no nickel or dime is going to help you this time
You’re too far from the Sun
