The 50's Astronauts Wife

When I look up to the moon

I know you'll be home soon.

How bad my heart aches for you

this feeling I can't renew.

Being alone is a frightful mess

I weep, cry, you told me to hush.

I'm wishing you were here again

a brave astronaut with a bunch of men.

The stars speak to me at night

and you will understand my fright.

I will find you in the lens

and tell you all my sins.

In the dark high above me

Is all that I can see.

But you are my space lover

and all that I can't be.

I love that one ....... full with longing to a man you are not sure will come , like the moon that looks so close , sometimes and unreachable on other days...... you were waiting , looking into the stars , will he come ... ridining his space ship .... will he take you with him Princess Leia
