Are You Out There at All

Verse 1

I sat by the window past midnight again

The kettle went cold on the stove

My hands are a map of the years I have been

And the radio plays something low

Pre-Chorus

Somewhere above me a stranger is walking

On ground that I'll never know

Chorus

Man on the moon

Do you ever get lonely up there

Man on the moon

Do you miss the warm weight of the air

I have been shouting at stars all my life

And nobody answers the call

Man on the moon

Are you out there at all

Verse 2

I buried my brother in seventy-nine

My daughter don't call anymore

I keep a chair by the door for a guest

Who has never once knocked on that door

Pre-Chorus

And you keep on circling somewhere above me

Like a thought that I can't put to rest

Chorus

Man on the moon

Do you ever get lonely up there

Man on the moon

Do you miss the warm weight of the air

I have been shouting at stars all my life

And nobody answers the call

Man on the moon

Are you out there at all

Bridge

Tell me the earth looks small from that height

Tell me the silence is kind

Tell me that somebody out in that dark

Remembers the shape of my mind

Chorus

Man on the moon

Do you ever get lonely up there

Man on the moon

Do you miss the warm weight of the air

I have been shouting at stars all my life

And nobody answers the call

Man on the moon

Are you out there at all

Outro

Man on the moon

I am down here

I am down here
