Hey, Comet
I got to thinking about seeing Halley's Comet when I was just a kid, and then wondering if I would live long enough to see it come back 'round again. This is just a simple folk song about a comet and how a person wonders about their relationship in the universe relative to the comet's.

Hey, Comet, you're looking like a rocket
Can I sit upon your body, above your tail
We'll watch the stars born, wave at the forlorn
And then leave 'em ice and dust there in our trail
Hey, Comet, I see children watching
On a planet that I never knew was there
They got problems, pray that you solve 'em
Every few years when they see you in the air
Hey, Comet, go head and clock it
Sure that short time around the sun, we won the race
Do you get lonely, thinking you're the only
Piece of debris that's hurdling through space
Hey, Comet, I see there's no stopping
Ain't no way that I can steer you from your course
Fly toward the black holes, swing 'round and once more
We'll be back here in some time, better or worse
Hey, Comet, why don't we drop in
On some big blue planet covered up in snow
Do you think it's too cold, and that's why you won't go
If I had one to lend, you could wear my coat
Hey, Comet, what we have in common
We're both feeling all alone here on the breeze
You might be older, yeah, and I'm much slower
But I'm guessing like's a matter of degree
Yeah, you might be older, and I'm much slower
But I'm guessing like's a matter of degree
