Listen "A Minute Past the Moment"

Episode Synopsis

Free falling in a Hohmann transfer orbit
Been out here a long time in this stinking can
Faint blue light from home drifts here in one minute
Then you call me while I run a routine scan

You tell me that it's lonely there at home
And I can sympathize, believe you me
You say you met someone from Tycho Dome
You'll move together to Tranquility

A minute past the moment
your words come through
A minute past the moment
it all sinks in
A minute past the moment
I'm signing off
A minute past the moment
over and out

We're a full year out from Phobos Station
I think there's too much starlight in my eye
There won't be a welcome home celebration
I guess that's just the price I pay to fly

Our orbits took us far too far apart
The Inverse-Square Law in this case applies
Your gravity's still pulling on my heart
Remembering the Earthlight in your eyes
