Home is a long, long way away From bow to stern she's 20 miles long Ten miles high and wide A beautiful swan in a silent sea No water to slow her down Sometimes it seems we're motionless Caught between time and space Other tiny star systems rush headlong by Stallions must win the race No earthly sound can penetrate This black and endless void Only thoughts and dreams of the unborn babes Where your body and fill your mind Every day down those quiet canyons Like a love that's for the stars And people that shop at the market place And the ship loads ever, ever on If ever we come to our promised land Gotta take the shuttle ground For the black swan never ever wants to rest Never stops to say goodbye

They call me Katie Cruel Through the woods I go And through the boggy mire Straight way down the road 'Til I come to my heart's desire If I was where I would be Then I would be where I am not Here I am where I must be Where I would, I can not When I first came to town They brought me drinks plenty Now they've changed their tune Then bring me the bottles empty If I was where I would be Then I would be where I am not Here I am where I must be Where I would, I can not
